The Spirit you received brought about
your adoption to son ship.
And by Him we cry: Abba, Father,
So we become his children, we are no longer
slaves but we live by the Spirit and are not
afraid. We are His and we will live in joy even
when me make mistakes, He will redeem us
by His forgiveness. By His perfect agape
love, He will nurture us all of our lives. Does
this mean we should go out and live by the
flesh; of course not. We struggle to become
closer and closer to Him so that we may live
like Him to the world. Our Christian lives are
a 24/7 life style, meaning life in the Spirit.

The adoption process was predetermined by God choosing an elect people and giving them to Christ to pay the adoption price and the last phase of the adoption will be when Christ comes back to take his elect home. This is the same pattern of adoption we use now, and the children plays no part in the process.

Please disregard this ridiculous post about adoption process.
It is ridiculous and misleading.

I believe that you are a child of God, but you have a lack of knowledge concerning the gospel.

This chapter is great! Salvation is easy, but our flesh gets in the way.

I have trouble reading Paul's letters; his writing style makes it hard for me to focus on the essentials. Below is the remedy to my attention deficit disorder:

There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

The law of the Spirit has set us free from the law of sin and death

What the law (of Moses) was powerless to do, God did by sending his own Son.

Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.

The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace

The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ

We have an obligation to live according to it (the Spirit).

Those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God

The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to son ship.

If we are children, then we are heirs (is it not great to be an heir of the Creator of the Universe?)

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
