Christians have the right to be called children of God, enjoying all the privileges of divine adoption.
Through Christ, believers experience the profound privilege of being adopted as God's children, as articulated in John 1:12. This adoption grants them access to numerous spiritual blessings, including justification, sanctification, and eternal life. The rights associated with this status are not based on merit but are rooted in Christ’s perfect work and His grace. Believers can confidently approach God in prayer, receive His inheritance, and live transformed lives in obedience. Understanding these rights empowers Christians to surrender their identities to Christ and walk boldly in their faith.
