Adoption

WHEN YOU NEED TO HEAR THAT GOD LOVES ADOPTION . . .

Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress.

WHEN YOU NEED REASSURANCE OF YOUR ADOPTION INTO GOD’S FAMILY . . .

We believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us.

You are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir.

WHEN YOUR ADOPTED CHILD NEEDS REASSURANCE OF GOD’S PLANS FOR THEIR LIFE . . .

You saw me before I was born.

Every day of my life was recorded in your book.

Every moment was laid out

before a single day had passed.

“I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
