I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20

“But then indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature were not gods. But now, after you know God, or rather are known by God, why would you want to turn again to the weak and the beggarly which previously had you in bondage? Come out from among them! For we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free. Stand fast therefore, in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. For when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his son born of a woman to redeem those who were in bondage, that we might receive the adoption as sons. Therefore, you are no longer a slave but a son, and if then a son, and heir of God through Christ.” Praise the Lord!
