The metaphor uses by Paul is adoption. It is stated in the bible specifically in new testament king James version, it stated – Romans 8: 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves so that you live in fear again; l rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him, we cry, “Abba, Father.”
That is the metaphor all about.
I think it would be true because on the other hand, physical properties are obs. when nothing changes.
