Romans 8: Life in the spirit pt 3

¹⁵ So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”¹⁶ For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children. ¹⁷ And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering.

• no spirit= slaves
• we have obtained Gods spirit when he took us in
• he is our father
• because we our his children we are also his heirs in his glory
• if we share in Christ glory we must also share his suffering

living in the spirit frees lets us live in the light. we are able to become everything that our wants for us. we go through suffering only because we must just as christ did. Living in the spirit is what frees us from living in our sin.
