John 14:6Jesus answered, "I am the

way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father

except through me.

Roman 8:14-17because those who are led by the Spirit of God

are sons of God. For you did not receive a

spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit

that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs — heirs of God

and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we

share in his sufferings in order that we may

also share in his glory.

Galatians 4:1-7But when the time had

fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman,

born under law, to redeem those under law, that we

might receive the full rights of sons. Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father."

So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and

since you are a son, God has made you also an

heir.
