The Bible teaches that believers are adopted into God's family through Jesus Christ, receiving all the rights and privileges of being His children.
In Galatians 4:4-5, it is stated that when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son to redeem those under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. This spiritual adoption has profound implications: it signifies that believers are no longer servants but are now heirs of God through Christ. Just as Jacob legally adopted Joseph's sons, making them part of his family, God, through His grace and mercy, has chosen us to be part of His family through Christ's work.
