What does the Bible say about being adopted as sons of God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that through Christ, believers are adopted into God's family as His sons and heirs.

In Romans 8:12-17, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that those led by the Spirit of God are truly the sons of God. This sonship comes not from human effort but through divine adoption. By nature, we are children of wrath, but through God's sovereign grace, we are adopted into His family. This adoption is rooted in God's eternal election and love for His chosen ones, highlighting that it is His choice that grants us the privilege of calling Him 'Abba, Father.' Thus, every believer can confidently claim their identity as a child of God, privileged to receive all spiritual blessings in Christ.
