We are usually led by what we know, what we feel or as a matter of habit or other external sources. However, Scriptures speak of “being led by the Spirit”. In the context of Romans 8, Apostle Paul established the need for us to firstly not live under condemnation. This is then followed by not being led by our flesh. What is our “flesh”. This is our un-renewed, old self. Paul continued on to speak about the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. When the discussion reaches verses 14 and 15, it took on an important dimension to understand the reality of “being led by the Spirit of God”. How it is necessary to understand the spirit of adoption and the process of the maturity of sonship. Only “Huios” mature sons of God are led by the Spirit of God.
