Romans 8: 15God's Spirit doesn't make us slaves whoare afraid of him.

    23The Spirit makes us sure about whatwe will be in the future. But now we groan silently, while we wait forGod to show that we are his children. This means that our bodies will alsobe set free....
    29... he has always known who his chosenones would be. He had decided to let them become like his own Son, so thathis Son would be the first of many children. 30God then accepted the peoplehe had already decided to choose, and he has shared his glory with them. (CEV)

Hebrews 2: 1JJesus and the people he makes holy allbelong to the same family. That is why he isn't ashamed to call them hisbrothers and sisters. 2He even said to God, "I will tell themyour name and sing your praises when they come together to worship." 3He also said, "I will trust God." Then he said, "Here I am with the children God has given me." (CEV)
