Adoption | Truth & Knowledge

When I did not know who I was, I was a slave under the elemental spiritual forces of the world. Abandoned from my true identity, I didn’t know who I was and could not, receive my inheritance because I was lost.

However this is no longer the case, because I have been adopted, redeemed, and reborn again, through Jesus Christ, His spirit enters my heart and calls out Abba Father, because I am his son and we are his sons and daughters. And this is who we are.

To adopt someone is to make that person a legal son or daughter. Adoption is one of the metaphors used in the word of God telling us that we are brought into the family of God. Jesus the Messiah came “that we might receive adoption to sonship” and He was successful:

I am no longer abandoned or lost.

Now that I have received God’s Spirit when he adopted me as his son”

Romans 8:15 says The Spirit you received does not make you slaves so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him, we cry, “Abba, Father.”

This is who we are. We are children of God.
