I’ve said it before, the most important thing about you and I is what we believe. Specifically, it is of utmost importance what we believe about God and what we believe about ourselves.
Our beliefs affect everything.
That’s why we love theology here at Do Not Depart. Because we know that if you and I get our theology—what we believe—in line with Scripture, and walk forward with what we discover, our lives will truly be transformed.
This month we will be looking at the great doctrine of adoption. We’ll take a look at the heart of the One who chose us and all the implications for the God-adopted child.
What do you think about the reality that you were hand-picked by God to be a part of His family? What are some of your favorite “adoption” verses?
Share them with us, in the comments!
It is incredible to think that He chose me….and for his pleasure! Ephesians 1:5 When I meditate on what that means, it makes me want to know (NEED to know) what he’s chosen me for…His will for my time here on earth.
Looking forward to more on adoption!!
Love the Ephesians verse! Thanks for sharing, Sarah!
I am absolutely humbled and amazed by the truth that God picked me to belong to Him! Wow! God chose me to be His child and He is my Father!
Excited for all we will learn this month about this GREAT truth!
There are so many wonderful verses, but a few of my favorite are Romans 8:15 and Ephesians 1:5. I think I love even more the people throughout the Bible who were actually adopted. The fact that Jesus was not Joseph’s biological son but was raised as such means he was adopted also.
Thanks for sharing these, Tara!
