The Greatest Love Story
Ever Told
The Greatest Love Story Ever Told
John 1:11-13 Amplified Bible (AMP)
11 He came to that which belonged to Him [to His
own—His domain, creation, things, world], and
they who were His own did not receive Him and
did not welcome Him. 12 But to as many as did
receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority
(power, privilege, right) to become the children of
God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to,
trust in, and rely on) His name—13 Who owe their
birth neither to [a]bloods nor to the will of the
flesh [that of physical impulse] nor to the will of
man [that of a natural father], but to God. [They
are born of God!]
The Rose
"The Rose"
Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
An endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
And you its only seed.
It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance.

It's the one who won't be taken,
Who cannot seem to give,
And the soul afraid of dyin'
That never learns to live.
When the night
has been too lonely
And the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed
that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose.
Galatians 4: 1-7
Galatians 4: 1 Now what I mean is that as long as
the inheritor (heir) is a child and under age, he does
not differ from a slave, although he is the master of
all the estate; 2 But he is under guardians and
administrators or trustees until the date fixed by his
father. 3 So we [Jewish Christians] also, when we
were minors, were kept like slaves under [the rules
of the Hebrew ritual and subject to] the elementary
teachings of a system of external observations and
regulations. 4 But when the proper time had fully
come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born
subject to [the regulations of] the Law,
Galatians 4: 1-7
5 To purchase the freedom of (to ransom, to
redeem, to [a]atone for) those who were subject
to the Law, that we might be adopted and have
sonship conferred upon us [and be recognized as
God’s sons]. 6 And because you [really] are [His]
sons, God has sent the [[b]Holy] Spirit of His Son
into our hearts, crying, Abba (Father)! Father! 7
Therefore, you are no longer a slave (bond
servant) but a son; and if a son, then [it follows
that you are] an heir [c]by the aid of God, through
Christ.
Adopted: Children of God
Romans 8:14 :For those who are led by the
Spirit of God are the children of God.
Romans 9:8: In other words, it is not the children by
physical descent who are God’s children, but it is the
children of the promise who are regarded as
Abraham’s offspring.
Adoption is SONSHIP!
Galatians 4:5 to redeem those under the law, that
we might receive adoption to sonship.[a]
Ephesians 1:5 he[a] predestined us for adoption
to sonship[b] through Jesus Christ, in accordance
with his pleasure and will—

The Greek word for adoption to sonship is a legal
term referring to the full legal standing of an
adopted male heir in Roman culture.
The Greatest Love Story Ever Told
Mrs. Doubtfire
• Story about the lengths that a father who
loves his children will go to, to spend time
with them.
Is so much greater
than any man’s!!!!
I AM SAM
• Story of a mentally disabled man who raises
his daughter and has to fight the system to be
able to keep her.
ADOPTION VIDEO
I saw this video on facebook and had
to share it. It is a beautiful story
about a couple who sees their child
for the first time and I thought it was
a wonderful picture of how God feels
about us when we are first adopted
into His Family
