Adoption

Adoption

My Question for God

How is adoption a picture of my relationship with God?

A Moment with God

To all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.

John 1:12

When the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children.

Galatians 4:4-5

Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.

Ephesians 1:4-6

The process of adoption is a beautiful picture of God’s love for you. Just as adoptive parents make a choice to give a child a new life, Jesus chose to give you a life you couldn’t otherwise achieve. People who adopt children decide to lovingly teach and nurture them, and they give those children all of the rights and privileges of being a member of the family. As a child of God, you are privileged to receive all his blessings, in both this life and the next.

Divine Promise

I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

2 Corinthians 6:18
