What does the Bible say about adoption as God's children?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that through Christ, believers are adopted as sons of God, receiving the Spirit that allows us to cry 'Abba, Father' (Galatians 4:6-7).
In Galatians 4:6-7, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that through faith in Christ, believers are not merely servants, but sons of God, and therefore heirs. This adoption is grounded in God's sovereign choice, independent of our actions or merits. The arrival of the Spirit into our hearts signifies this adoption, allowing us to address God intimately as 'Abba, Father,' illustrating the depth of our relationship with Him and the privileges that come with being His children.
