Romans 8:15 15
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.”
While most people, at least those who do not irrationally deny the existence of God, would claim that all are and Lordship and will all be judged by Him, but being a child of God and having the right to truly call Him “Abba Father” is something that only born-again Christians are able to do. (John 1:12)
John 1:1-18 NASB
1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2
He was with God in the beginning.
3
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
4
In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
5
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6
There was a man sent from God whose name was John.
7
He came as a witness to testify
concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.
8
He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
9
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.
10
He was in the world, and though
the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
11
He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
12
Yet to all who did receive him,
to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children
of God—
13
children born not of natural
descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
14
The Word became flesh and made
his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and
only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15
(John testified concerning him.
He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He
who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ ”)
16
Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.
17
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18
No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
