Psalm 103:8-13  The LORD is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. • He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. • He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. • For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. • As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. • Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

Romans 8:15,16  For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!" • The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,

Ephesians 2:13  But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Ephesians 2:19  So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household,
