The Son’s cry of ‘Abba! Father!’ reveals the faith of the Son of God. The person who hears the Son’s word, receives His faith. Rom 10:17. By faith, they are able to believe the word proclaiming their name as a son of God and become obedient to their sonship destiny within the family of God. 2Co 4:13. Rom 1:5-6.
Christ then breathes and speaks into their identity the Holy Spirit, through whom they are connected to the Eternal Spirit, the regenerating life, and the power, of Yahweh Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Joh 20:22. Through regeneration, their spirit is made alive from the death of sin. At this point, they also receive the redemption that was accomplished for them through the shedding of Christ’s blood, and are able to repent and receive the forgiveness of their sins. They are then justified freely by the grace of God, because of their faith in Jesus. Col 1:13-14. Rom 3:21-26.
By the incorruptible seed, or sperma of God, which is the Holy Spirit, they are then born again as sons of the Father. The Spirit takes their sonship name and life, which is in the Son, from the Father, and causes them to become a new creation through birth. Jesus described this work of the Holy Spirit when He said to His disciples, ‘He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.’ Joh 16:14-15. Through birth, by the Spirit, Christ becomes their life, and they are able to live this life by the faith of the Son of God. Gal 2:20.

Rom 3:21-26
But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
