Holy ~ Harmless & Separate

God has given us the Spirit of adoption. This changes the way we live now. And it also changes the way we will live forever. And that is because the adopted child shares in the inheritance. This morning’s text begins with the Apostle Paul addressing the Roman Christians to whom he wrote this epistle, “brethren.” How can Paul call this mix of Jewish and Gentile Christians whom he had never met his brothers? It is because he knew that these Christians had received the Spirit of adoption when they believed the gospel. Therefore these Christians were the children of God and thus his brothers in Christ. We are brothers and sisters today because of the Spirit of Adoption! When you confess to believe … You are a child of GOD!
