How do we know God’s purpose for our sonship is true?
Answered in 1 source
God's purpose for our sonship is revealed through scripture and His sovereign grace, showing that it was ordained before time.
The certainty of God's purpose for our sonship is grounded in scripture, which affirms that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4-5). This sovereign choice reflects God's eternal grace and intention to redeem a people for Himself. The fulfillment of this purpose culminates in the sending of His Son, Jesus Christ, who redeemed us from the curse of the law, allowing us to be adopted as His children. This truth is evidenced by the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, leading us to faith and confirming our identity as sons.
