What Is Adoption? (What It Really Means to Be God's Child)
from Back To The Bible Daily · host backtothebibledaily
Today on Back to the Bible Daily, Braden Pedersen explains why God’s work in salvation is more than forgiveness—He adopts us into His family. Using Romans 8 as his guide, Braden unpacks three life-changing truths: adoption is relationship, not just pardon; it replaces fear with intimacy; and it makes us co-heirs with Christ. Take action with the 4 R’s: - Read: Read Romans 8 today. - Reflect: Do you approach God as a distant judge or as Abba, Father? Notice moments you act from fear vs trust. - Respond: Pray aloud, claiming your identity as God’s child; memorize Romans 8:15–17 (or a verse about adoption); choose one habit this week that reflects your status as an heir (generosity, rest, bold prayer). - Reveal: Share this passage and one personal insight with a friend or family member; tell someone how God’s adoption has changed you and invite them to read Romans 8 with you.
