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 tall 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.
John 14:8-17; 25-27
Philip
said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you all
this time, Philip, and you still do
not know me? Whoever has seen me has
seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the
Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the
Father and the Father is in me?
The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the
Father
who dwells in me does his works. Believe
me that I am in the Father
and the Father is in me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the works
themselves. Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will
also do the works that I do
and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. I will do whatever you ask in my name,
so that the Father may be
glorified in the Son. If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it.
“If
you love me, you will keep my commandments.
And I will ask the
Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever. This is the Spirit of truth, whom the
world cannot receive, because
it neither sees him nor knows him.
You
know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you.
I
have said these things to you while I am still with you. But the
Advocate,
the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you
of all that I have said to
you. Peace
I leave with you; peace I give to you. I
do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do
not let them be afraid.
