THE SPIRIT OF ADOPTION

Apostle Peter declared plainly to the Jews saying, "God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness."
(Acts 3:26).
Notice!; that Peter said that God sent his only begotten Son Jesus back to us after resurrection.
The question is; Where is He?
The answer is; He is in the Holy Spirit.
As it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam Christ became a "LIFE-GIVING SPIRIT" (or The Holy Spirit).
(1 Corinthians 15:45).
BECAUSE; AS GOD THE FATHER HAD LIFE IN HIMSELF, SO HAD HE GIVEN TO THE SON JESUS CHRIST TO HAVE LIFE IN HIMSELF.
(John 5:26)
Therefore, brethren, we have received the SPIRIT OF ADOPTION, whereby we have become God's Children.
(Romans 8:15)
And because you are sons, God has sent forth the "Spirit of His Only Begotten Son" into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”
(Galatians 4:6).
For this reason, Apostle Paul stated clearly; that if the Jews should turn their hearts to the Lord Jesus, then the veil of Moses shall be taken away from their hearts. "Now the Lord Jesus Christ is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty". And if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
( 2 Corinthians 3:16-17). (Roman 8:9).
Therefore, I believe with perfect faith that God, Blessed be His Name, is One Person, who is the Father and He alone is our God, who was, and is, and will be.
I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, is a Person, who is the only Son of the Father, in truth and love. "For as the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son to have life in himself."
(John 5:26)
I believe that Holy Ghost is not a Person but "A Spirit" by whom God is in Christ, as its written "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself" and I believe that through the Holy Spirit, the Father raised up the Son from the dead.
And I believe that the Holy Ghost is also "A Spirit" by whom Christ is in the Saints, as its written "through Him we have access by one Spirit unto the Father"
(2Cor 5:19). (Ephesians 2:18).
