As many as led by the Spirit, they are the sons of God. Spiritual leadership is essential to the proof of our sonship. Many claim this experience, or this mode or method of salvation, or just a happy confession, but the Word of God is quite plain on our proof of sonship. It is by what are we being led? If we are led by the flesh or will of man, and not by the Spirit, then we are not sons. How can we be led by the Spirit? It is by following that still small voice within, often called conscience. Paul said he was always void of the offense of his conscience. We have to be tender to the Lord. We have to be easily led and not driven (like wild goats). We have to be willing to hear His voice and follow. He will never drag us across the finish line. But will gently and tenderly lead us by the conscience within. The Bible puts it this way: if you heart condemns you (if you have a bad conscience) then know that God is greater than your heart (it is He that is causing that bad feeling). And then it goes on to say: if you heart does not condemn you, then have confidence toward God. There you have it. As many as are led by the Spirit they are the sons of God and they have good a conscience. That is what walking in the Spirit is all about, a clear conscience. Be blessed
