Spirit of Sonship in believers
![Page 3: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd05e0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs — heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
Romans 8:14-17
![Page 4: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd05e0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The reception of the Spirit by the believers is a proof that
they had received the “adoption as sons” and by the same Spirit we call out to God
Abba, Father.
![Page 5: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd05e0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The reason why God sent the Spirit of His Son to us because we are sons. Paul means that the Spirit within a believer testifies that he is indeed a son causing him to address God as Father.
![Page 6: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd05e0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son,
born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the
law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into
your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!" 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an
heir of God through Christ.
Galatians 4:4-7

According to Gordon Fee:
1. A statement about time (v. 4a) 2. A Soteriological-Christological
statement (vv. 4b-5)3. A pneumatological statement (v. 6)4. A summarizing word (v. 7)

Soteriological aspect of Paul’s teaching on
the Spirit
![Page 9: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd05e0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9 You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God
lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of
Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
Romans 8:9
![Page 10: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd05e0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Spirit and the proclamation of the
Gospel
![Page 11: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd05e0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
13 These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom
teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things
with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of
the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are
spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:13-14
![Page 12: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd05e0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
4 And my speech and my preaching were not with
persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5
that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the
power of God.
1 Corinthians 2:4-5
![Page 13: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd05e0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Spirit and Faith
![Page 14: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd05e0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are you
so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?
Galatians 3:2-3
![Page 15: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd05e0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Spirit is thus both the cause and
effect of faith.
![Page 16: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd05e0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Spirit and conversion
![Page 17: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd05e0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
For the Apostle Paul, the crucial role of the Spirit in conversion
involves what God has done in the life of a believer and also in describing what has happened in his life.
![Page 18: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd05e0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
11 And that is what some of you were. But you were
washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by
the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6:11
![Page 19: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd05e0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Considering all the metaphors, one will
conclude that the work of the Spirit in an
individual is too multi-faceted that all are
needed to completely explain what has been
done.
![Page 20: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd05e0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Paul claims that he and other believers performed signs and wonders by the power of the Holy Spirit. For Paul, the Holy Spirit is the dispenser of spiritual gifts for the benefit of the church.

According to Erickson:
1. The gifts are bestowed on the body (the church). They are for the edification of the whole body, not merely for the enjoyment or enrichment of the individual members possessing them (1 Co. 12:7; 14:5, 12).
![Page 26: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c01d1a28abf838cd05e0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2. No one person has all the gifts (1 Co. 12:14-21), nor is any one of the gifts bestowed on all persons (12:28-30). Consequently, the individual members of the church need each other.

3. Although not equally conspicuous, all gifts are important (1 Co. 12:22-26).
4. The Holy Spirit apportions the various gifts to whom and as he wills (1 Co. 12:11).

The body of Christ was in a way divided into two opinions:
1. Pentecostals and Charismatics- Believes in the gifts today
2. Evangelical and mainline denominations- Gifts ceased

Gordon Fee said:“in the present we should pursue
love, because that alone is both for now and forever (13:13); but that also means that in the already we
should eagerly desire manifestations of the Spirit so as to
build up the community.”
