Romans 8:14-15 (Amplified Bible)
14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
15For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father!
We often quote from Rom 8:14 that if we are sons of God then we should be led the Holy Spirit. In other words, if you are not led by the Spirit then you are not a son. As such, most sincere believers would abandon their common sense or even a sense of peace in their heart and transfer that decision power to someone whom they deemed to be more spiritual or authoritative. The fruit may be good, bad or neutral but the outcome is a life not of their own by others.
Apostle John says that to those who believe, we are given the authority to be children of God. As such, to God, the moment that we are born into His family, we are always His sons and children
In v15, it clearly states that the this Spirit is the Spirit of Abba Father! A good Father leads His sons into a great future and of peace. It is the Good Shepherd who leads us by the still waters.
It is always the Father leading son and not son leading the Father.
It is always the Father constantly leading the son even when the sons have difficulty being led by the Father.
