A Spirit of Adoption

Have you been adopted by God?

Human adoption is marked by longing and loss. A family longing for a child steps into a situation and chooses to welcome a child into their family. They choose the child. They do what needs to be done to legally become that child’s forever family.

Romans 8 tells us that we’re adopted by God. He wants us. He chose us. And He did what needed to be done to be our Father.

That’s why He went to the cross. His death and His resurrection made the way for us to have a relationship with Him.

Have you been adopted into His family? You can! Even right here today. Just say, Father, I want to be your child. In the name of Jesus, amen.

Always remember there is hope with God.

Romans 8:15

“So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, ‘Abba, Father.’”
