Being adopted by God means being spiritually reborn as His child through faith in Jesus Christ.
Christian adoption is a profound theological concept that signifies believers being legally and relationally made members of God's family. As portrayed in Galatians 4:4-7, God sent His Son so that we might receive adoption as sons. This adoption is not based on any actions or attributes of our own but on God's sovereign choice and love. By the Holy Spirit dwelling in us, we are granted the privilege to call God 'Daddy,' indicating an intimate and personal relationship with our heavenly Father. This status brings assurance of our salvation and inheritance as joint heirs with Christ, establishing our identity in His grace and truth.
