How do we know spiritual adoption is true?

Answered in 1 source

Spiritual adoption is affirmed in Scripture, particularly in Ephesians 1:5 and Romans 8:15, indicating believers' identity as children of God.

The truth of spiritual adoption is firmly grounded in Scripture. Ephesians 1:5 states that believers are predestined to the adoption of children through Jesus Christ, which underscores God's sovereign initiative in this process. Furthermore, Romans 8:15 tells us that we have received the spirit of adoption, which allows us to cry out, 'Abba, Father.' This spirit confirms our identity as children, assuring us of our relationship with God. Both passages affirm that this adoption is not based on our merit but is a result of God’s grace and purpose, highlighting that we, once outsiders, are now included in His family.
