Romans 8:13-14 ESV
For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
Paul is speaking to believers, to those who have received the Holy Spirit. We have been given the choice between flesh and spirit, between the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the tree of life. This is the same choice that Adam faced.
Adam was a son of God, but he failed to follow the leading of God. Will we follow the leading of the Spirit of God as sons of God?
One must have the Spirit to choose. Once we have chosen Christ, the choice remains to follow and to continue following, led by His Spirit.
