What Does God Think of Adoption?
For you have not received the spirit of bondage leading
to fear again, but you have received the spirit of adoption, as sons
by which we cry out, “Abba ! Father!” Romans 8:15
For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be
adopted as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance
with the purpose of His will, because it pleased Him and was His
kind intent. Ephesians 1:5
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to
visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction
and need........... James 1:27
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes
saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written
in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139: 15-16
