“We, in turn, might receive the adoption as sons. Now because YOU are sons, God has sent forth the spirit of his Son into our hearts and it cries out: ‘Abba, Father!’ ” —Galatians 4:5-6, NWT

“For all who are led by God’s spirit, these are God’s sons.” —Romans 8:14, NWT

How Does a Person Receive God’s Spirit?

“Because YOU are sons, God has sent forth the spirit…” —Galatians 4:6, NWT

jwspiritbaptismAre you spiritually adopted as a son or daughter of God?

“God does not adopt them as spiritual sons, as he does the 144,000.” —The Watchtower, February 1, 1998, p. 20

If you are not adopted, how can you be “led” by God’s Spirit?

“For all who are led by God’s spirit, these are God’s sons.”—Romans 8:14, NWT

Without God’s Spirit whom you receive through adoption, how can you claim to “please” God and “belong” to Christ?

“So those who are in harmony with the flesh cannot please God. However, YOU are in harmony, not with the flesh, but with the spirit, if God’s spirit truly dwells in YOU. If anyone does not have Christ’s spirit, this one does not belong to him.”—Romans 8:8-9, NWT
