And so we should not be like cringing, fearful slaves, but we should behave like God’s very own children, adopted into the bosom of His family, and calling to Him, “Abba, Father.” For His Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts and tells us that we really are Children of God. And since we are His children, we will share His treasures. For all God gives to His Son Jesus is now ours too. But if we are to share His glory, we must also share His suffering. Romans 8:15-17

Are you a Child of God? For the Believer this understanding underpins their entire outlook on life.

*COG: Child of God; Children of God
