Sonship

Romans 8:15. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father."
Friends we are no more slaves/orphans but we are sons and daughters of the most High God. Your father God loves you with an everlasting love.
Here are some characteristics of a son and a slave/orphan.
Son
See God as a loving Father
Rest and Peace
Totally accepted in God’s love, and justified by grace
Service that is motivated by a deep gratitude for being unconditionally loved and accepted by God

Slave
See God as Master
Insecure / Lack peace
Strive for the praise, approval, and acceptance of man
Seek to impress God and others or no motivation to serve at all.
