Resting in God’s LovePaul says further: “As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” Verses 14, 15. One of the lessons that we are to learn in the school of Christ is that the Lord’s love for us is far greater than that of our earthly parents. We are to have unquestioning faith and perfect confidence in Him. “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.” Verses 16, 17. {8T 126.1}

Hvile i Guds kærlighed
(126) Paulus siger videre: »Thi alle, som drives af Guds Ånd, er Guds børn. I modtog jo ikke en Ånd, der giver trællekår, så I atter skulle leve i frygt, men I modtog en Ånd, der giver barnekår og i den råber vi: »Abba«, Fader!« vers 14,15. En af de lektier som vi lærer i Kristi skole er at Herrens kærlighed for os er langt større end vore jordiske forældres. Vi skal have ubetvivlende tro og fuldstændig tillid til ham. »Ånden selv vidner sammen med vor ånd, at vi er Guds børn. Men når vi er børn, er vi også arvinger, Guds arvinger og Kristi medarvinger, så sandt vi lider med ham, så vi også kan herliggøres med ham.« vers 16,17.
