And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:18-20

It is a daily depending, and kingdom seeking new life! The new life is one of spiritual adoption. Meaning we have brothers and sister, a forever family to be a part of.
