We are continuing with the divine inspiration in regards to GOD's sons and daughters also known as sons because in the kingdom there is neither male or female. Therefore all are but one as seen in Genesis 2:18 before the separation of 21-25. Since that time GOD has been building His spirit kingdom in which man is the subject, the greatest of prizes. For in each new generation of man there have been men of GOD in whom GOD's Spirit dwells this was broadened at Pentecost (seen in Acts 2) to include the Gentile world of humanity. Now to look at the Holy Spirit one more time as our resource of our Adoption and sealing by anointing, Jesus being the first of this sort, not so as we have already seen.But Jesus was indeed our first example to this way of life as He brought the Light of Genesis 1 to bear within us.
Bearing Witness to the Spiritual Adoption of Believers,
Romans 8:16 of 12-17 "So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of GOD are sons of GOD. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery (again) to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!" The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of GOD, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer (as He did) with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him."
Galatians 3:10-14, 15-18, 19-22, 23-4:6 of 1-7 "For all who rely on works of the (Mosaic)Llaw are under a curse; for it is written (in Deuteronomy 18:18-20, 27:26), "Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them." Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by this Law, for "The righteous shall live by faith." For this Law is not of faith, rather (Leviticus 18:5) "The one who does them shall live by them." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written (Deuteronomy 21:23), "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"— so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.
To give a human example, brothers: even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified. Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, "And to offsprings," referring to many, but referring to one, "And to your (seed) offspring," who is Christ. This is what I mean: the Law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void. For if the inheritance came out from this Law, it no longer comes by promise; for God gave it to Abraham by a promise.
Why then this Law? It was added because of transgressions, until the (seed) offspring should come to Whom the promise had been made, and it was put in place (by the agency) through angels (as mediators) by an intermediary. Now an intermediary implies more than one, but God is one. Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.
But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. Now before faith came, we (the Hebrews ....Jews and indeed the overflow of the world, though not known by them) were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. So then, the Law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by (His) faith. For now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of GOD, through His faith (being proven made fact by His obedience). For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ (as a wife puts on her husbands name as her covering in marriage). There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all (are made) one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise. I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His (Divine) Son, born of woman, born under (made subject for a short time to) the Law, to redeem those who were under the (heavy yoke of this) Law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His (Divine) Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through GOD's doing."
1John 4:13 of 7-14 "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows GOD. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because GOD is (pure) Love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent His only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that HE loved us (first in the prior eons, as seen in Genesis 1:26-27) and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen GOD; if we love one another, this GOD abides in us and His love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him and HE in us, because HE has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world."
1John 5:6 of 5-12 " Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree. If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that HE has borne concerning His Son. Whoever believes (Deuteronomy 18:18-20's witness) Has the Son of God and has this testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning His Son. And this is the testimony, that GOD gave us (His) eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of GOD does not have Life."
