Romans 8:14–17 (NIV)
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;
rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.
And by him we cry, \"Abba, Father.\"
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
Now if we are children, then we are heirs — heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ,
if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
Goodness was planted in me from the beginning.
Richard Rohr, from The Universal Christ
\"From the very beginning, faith, hope, and love are planted deep within our nature — indeed they are our very nature. The Christian life is simply a matter of becoming who we already are.\"
