Word from God’s Word-Adoption

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is Adoption.

Parents who adopt children choose to welcome them into their family with open arms.

Adoption is one of God’s spiritual blessings for the person who puts their faith in Jesus Christ. We are welcomed into the family of God with open arms.

Ephesians 1:5 says, “In love, he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will-to the praise of his glorious grace.”

What a joyful reality to be included in God’s family and to enjoy the blessing of His acceptance and forgiveness. That is a compelling reason to give thanks for His enduring love.

Discover how the word “Adoption” can have an impact on your life in the Year of God’s Word.
