Romans 8:14

“For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” (NASB)

STRONGS HEBREW/GREEK ORIGINS

“For all who are being led (ago: attach to one's self as an attendant; guide, direct; move, of forces and influences) by the Spirit of God, these are sons (huios: son of God - used to describe those whom God esteems as sons, whom he loves, protects and benefits above other; a mature son) of God.”

SUMMARY

For all who are being led and moved by the Spirit of God, these are the mature ones that God has esteemed as sons of His very own.

MEDITATION

Today, it seems that we define who is a follower of Christ by who is the most gifted… or most charismatic… or most biblically literate. We are in error when we do such a thing, for the true sons of God, His children and Kingdom heirs will be known by their obedience to the Spirit. Maturing men and women who desire to be moved by the Spirit of God as He defines necessary – these are the mature sons of the Living God. Today, seek to be found as one of these favored ones – and make the company that you keep likewise.
