The Adoption

Lady of Light

In Ephesians, 1:3-7, Paul tells us about our special adoption and relationship with Jesus Christ:

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace."

I, personally, have had the experience of being adopted by my parents in this world.
It is a comfort to know that I was chosen by them, loved by them and raised by them.
In the same way, We were chosen by God unto the adoption of Jesus Christ. We are his children and we are accepted in the beloved. This is a wonderful gift from God and we are indeed very fortunate. This biblical truth is a great comfort to the heart, soul and spirit. As you think about your relationship to Christ today, be comforted and blessed.

God bless you and have a great day!
