What does the Bible say about being adopted into God's family?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that believers are adopted into God's family through faith in Jesus Christ, becoming partakers of His grace.

The doctrine of adoption is beautifully illustrated in Romans 11:17, where the Apostle Paul uses the metaphor of grafting wild olive branches into a cultivated olive tree. This signifies the inclusion of Gentiles into God's covenant family. Through God's sovereign grace, we are no longer considered distant or alienated but are brought near as beloved children. This act of spiritual adoption emphasizes God's rich mercy and unmerited favor toward those He has chosen.
