Jesus came to earth so that, “…we might receive adoption to sonship.” He came so that we might be adopted into the family of God. However, what does that mean? According to Romans 8:15 we receive the Spirit of God in our hearts when we repent and believe the Gospel. Faith in Christ causes God to forgive our sins, and makes us Children of God. Other verses say we are heirs according to promise meaning that God adopts us into His family even though we are unworthy we are worthy because of what He did on the cross. God’s grace makes us Children of God and heirs. The end result is that as Christians we are forever part of God’s family and will not be separated from Him. John 10:29 tells us we are forever with God when we believe, “My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.”. Praise God for His grace, mercy and love
