He is led by the Spirit of God, so saith the Apostle, Rom. 8.14. As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God. This language plainly shows who are the Adopted Sons of God, and so consequently, who are new Creatures; for to be such a Son of God, as this Text speaks of, and to be a new Creature, is all one in effect, and he that is such, is led by the Spirit of God; That is his mark, set by the holy Ghost, by the hand of the Apostle.
