The Spirit you received doesn’t make you slaves who live in fear again. Instead, the Spirit you received has made you God’s genuine child by adoption. And the Spirit leads us to call out to God, “Abba, Father.”

God saved us from those deadly dangers, and he will do it again. We have confidence that he will continue to save us,
creation to live in the hope that it would be set free from decay and enter into the same freedom and glory that his children have.
