WORD OF GOD - ROM 8:14-17

 ROMANS 8:14-17

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.

---- mine,

Fear has no place in the life of a child of God whom you are privileged to lovingly address as Abba, Dad, Papa. Baptism grafts you to My Body, the Holy Spirit makes His dwelling place in you and enables you to live a life of grace. Only the sinless may enter God's presence. You are sinless whenever you approach Me in the Sacrament of Reconciliation and are washed in the Blood of the Lamb. Unite all your sufferings in this present life with My agony, passion, and death on the Cross and you will be glorified with Me as co-heir in the Kingdom of God. Fear nothing save sin.
