What does the Bible say about being adopted by God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers are adopted as children of God and can call Him 'Abba, Father' (Romans 8:15).

According to Romans 8:14-15, those who are led by the Spirit of God are known as the sons of God. In verse 15, it states that we have not received a spirit of bondage leading to fear, but rather the Spirit of adoption, allowing us to cry out 'Abba, Father.' This adoption signifies that we have a personal and familial relationship with God, unlike a distant ruler. Paul emphasizes this in Galatians 4:4-7, where he explains that God sent His Son to redeem those under the law so that we might receive adoption as sons. This adoption is a powerful declaration of God's love and grace towards us.
