“The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,” Romans 8:16 (NASB)
The Bible teaches us that when we believe by faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior and accept His forgiveness and offer of eternal life, we are born again into God's family and we become children of God. Our promise today tells us that what God has done to put His testimony, His seal of authority, in us to help us realize that this new birth is true. One of the great things that God does in response to our faith in Jesus Christ is that He sends His Holy Spirit to live in our hearts. The Spirit comes to live in us at the moment of our salvation and He begins teaching us many truths. One of the important truths is the promise we have in today's verse – the fact that we are children of God. As we keep trusting in God we continue to learn more about this truth that we belong to His family. It is the work of the Holy Spirit to guide us and teach us in all truth from God the Father and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
