We are guided by the Spirit of God 

Romans 8:14–17 (NJB): All who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God; 15 for what you received was not the spirit of slavery to bring you back into fear; you received the Spirit of adoption, enabling us to cry out, ‘Abba, Father!’ 16 The Spirit himself joins with our spirit to bear witness that we are children of God. 17 And if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, provided that we share his suffering, so as to share his glory. 

Those who are guided by the Holy Spirit are God's sons and daughters. What we received is not the spirit of slavery, which will return us to the fear of evil. God receives us through the Spirit of Adoption, thus we are His adopted children. Then we are God's offspring, therefore we call Him Abba, Father! So we are heirs of His Kingdom as well as joint heirs of Jesus Christ. When we share Jesus' sorrows, God also gives us a share in Christ Jesus' eternal glory.
