1 Now I say, That\u00a0the heir, as long he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba,\u00a0Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.<\/em> — Galatians 4:1-7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.<\/em> — John 1:12-13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

11 And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: <\/em>— Ephesians 4:11-13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
