What role does Christ play in our adoption according to the Bible?
Answered in 1 source
Christ is central to our adoption as He is the means through which we are made children of God, redeemed and accepted in Him.
According to Ephesians 1:5-6, Christ plays a vital role in our adoption as He is the one through whom we are brought into God's family. It is by His work—specifically His sacrificial death and resurrection—that we are redeemed and made accepted before God. Moreover, Galatians 4:4-5 notes that at the right time, God sent His Son to redeem those under the law so that we might receive the adoption as sons. This underscores the reality that our relationship with God as His children hinges entirely on the redemptive work of Christ, demonstrating the depth of God's love and purpose for His elect.
