The Blessing of Adoption

What does it mean to be adopted into the family of God, and how does this glorious privilege transform the Christian life? In this message we examine how God's Law reveals our sin and inability to save ourselves, preparing us for the freedom and redemption found in Jesus Christ. We discover the heart of the Gospel: God sent His Son, born under the Law, to live in perfect obedience and bear the curse our sins deserved, so that all who trust in Him are not only forgiven and justified by grace through faith, but adopted as beloved children and heirs of God. Finally, we explore how the Holy Spirit assures us of our adoption and transforms our prayers, our understanding of our identity, and our service to God as we learn to live not as slaves seeking to earn His favor, but as sons and daughters who have freely received His grace.
