The Spirit of Sonship

 (ID: 2760)

Being “born again” to new life in Christ is not a matter of acquiring a new religious identity. Instead, it’s about being adopted into a new family—a family that has a rightful claim on your life. Alistair Begg points out that believers are responsible for actively resisting sin, guided and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit. As we obey the Spirit’s leading to live in a way that pleases our Father, we give evidence that we belong to Christ.
