The Song of our Adoption
Blessed are you,
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ:
you have blessed us in Christ with every
spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.
New Testament Reading - Suffering and glorified with Christ
12 So, dear brothers, you have no obligations whatever to your old sinful nature to do what it begs you to do. 13For if you keep on following it you are lost and will perish, but if through the power of the Holy Spirit you crush it and its evil deeds, you shall live. 14For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
15And so we should not be like cringing, fearful slaves, but we should behave like God’s very own children, adopted into the bosom of his family, and calling to him, “Father, Father.” 16For his Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts and tells us that we really are God’s children. 17And since we are his children, we will share his treasures — for all God gives to his Son Jesus is now ours too. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering.
. . . . . Romans 8:12-17Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your people,
And kindle in us the fire of your love.
