This message explores what it means to be an adopted child of God: a true son/daughter, fully part of His family, and having the same relational status as Jesus! That’s the heart of the Gospel. Just as an adopted child is chosen, pursued, and given a new name and identity, God has done the same for us through Jesus. He planned before the world began to bring us into His family. How He loves us! Our adoption cost everything—Christ’s blood shed for us on the cross. Through Him, we are restored in our relationship with God and can call Him "Father". In response, we live with gratitude, pursue deeper relationship with our Father, and invite others into His family!
