Learn To Be Led by God’s Spirit
Today’s Scriptures
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.

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.
