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

The Word defines those who are God's sons as the ones who are being led by the Spirit. This definition is so vastly different than what is taught today in Christian circles. It is not about how gifted you are, how many Bible verses you have memorized, how often you attend "services"... it is about how you live decision by decision. We only have two options: follow our flesh or follow the Spirit. Today, hear and heed the voice of the Spirit of God. Settle for nothing less than perfect obedience in every occasion.
