Romans 8:14-21 - The Yeast Of The Pharisees And Herod
14 For the sons of God are those who are guided by the Spirit of God. 15 You have received no slavish spirit that would make you relapse into fear; you have received the Spirit of sonship. And when we cry, "Abba! Father!", 16 it is this Spirit testifying along with our own spirit that we are children of God; 17 and if children, heirs as well, heirs of God, heirs along with Christ ??for we share his sufferings in order to share his glory.
18 Present suffering, I hold, is a mere nothing compared to the glory that we are to have revealed. 19 Even the creation waits with eager longing for the sons of God to be revealed. 20 For creation was not rendered futile by its own choice, but by the will of Him who thus made it subject, 21 the hope being that creation as well as man would one day be freed from its thraldom to decay and gain the glorious freedom of the children of God.
