Real acceptance & adoption | Eph 1:4-5

Conversations with Ray Martinez

I have a few friends and family who have experienced the joy and the struggle of adopting. For some, adoption came at a cost—of finances, time and emotional energy—but for each it has brought great joy. Adoption is a beautiful thing and a powerful picture of who God is. In Ephesians, Paul tells us that adoption was never “Plan B.” God actually had it in mind before He even created the earth! Wow! God’s plan was always for us to know the full range of His mercy and grace as His adopted children. In adopting us, God gives us the very Spirit of His Son and grants us to feel the affections of belonging to the family of God. There is a deep personal and spiritual bond between God our Father and us, His children. God says, tell me personally if you want to accept me, we don’t have to be in the halls of Justice to be legally adopted, but only in the pathway of Christ. Listen in as we take a deeper dive into the Word of God about acceptance and adoption.
