Our goal for November is to tell people about what is happening at our organization. The document discusses the biblical concept of adoption, citing Ephesians 1:5 and Romans 8:15. Adoption means that through Jesus Christ, God predestined us to become his children according to his good pleasure and will. Being adopted, we have received the Spirit of adoption and can call God our Father.
4. Ephesians 1:5 (KJV)
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of
children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to
the good pleasure of his will,
Romans 8:15 (KJV)
15 For ye have not received the spirit of
bondage again to fear; but ye have received the
Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba,
Father.
6. Galatians 4:4-7 (KJV)
4 But when the fulness of the time was come,
God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made
under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that
we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth
the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying,
Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a
son; and if a son, then an heir of God through
Christ.
