Ephesians 1:5- “He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will.”
My husband is Greek. I am mostly German. Our “bestie” couple friends are Italian and belong to an Italian club.
They asked us if we wanted to join and we reminded them that we are not Italian.
They said it didn’t matter. We’d be “adopted in.”
We had a great time at the Italian picnic as newbie Italians. On the way home, I thought about the Bible reference regarding our “adoption as sons of God.”
So, just what does it mean to be adopted into God’s family?
It’s simple. When we come to faith in Christ, we are adopted into His family and given all the rights that heirs of God possess.
God doesn’t adopt people because they are worthy. He adopts them on the basis of His grace.
Christians are forever part of God’s family.
