       None of you fathers out there expect your son to only care for gifts you pick for him, or to only want to go places that you specifically want to go, or to like things and seek after things only you have an interest in, and of which he is not interested in. None of you are like that. So, why in the world would we accept a picture of God like this? Who would do that? God is better than our earthly fathers, not worse. Even Jesus made this argument. Some of you need to print what I just said and keep close by to remind yourself of the way things actually are with God. Verse 16: “The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him” (Romans 8:16-17, ESV). It certainly is the case that as Christians we can expect to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit within us, confirming that we are a Christian, that we belong to God.
