Ephesians 1:5 – He predestined us to be adopted, as His sons/daughters through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will to the praise of His glorious grace which He has fully given us in the One He loves.
You and I have been adopted into the family of God. Our adoption came because Jesus was willing to be born and then adopted into Joseph’s earthly family for our redemption.
Before time began, God predestined us to be adopted as His sons and daughters. He did it because it brought Him pleasure to have us in His family once again.
The sins of our forefather, Adam, caused separation between God and man; but the death of Jesus brought us back into right relationship and fellowship with Him.
Adoption speaks of a love so deep that a person would willingly choose to take on total responsibility of another person’s life and welfare. God chose to allow Jesus to suffer in our place so that through His suffering we could be in close fellowship and relationship with Him once again.
God so loved us that no price was too steep for Him to pay in exchange for us. Adoption in previous centuries was an amazing gift to the adoptee, and it still is today. In previous centuries, an adopted child could NEVER be disinherited!
You can never be disinherited!!! You belong to God always and forever. No one, no circumstance, no situation, and no hardship will be able to separate you from God. That should bring great peace and assurance to your heart.
Please ponder and meditate on this:
I am adopted, and I am a member of God’s family.
Do I truly understand that I belong to God?
