HE ADOPTS US

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.  The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:”

Romans 8:14-16 KJV

Someone said “I don’t belong anywhere and I don’t think anybody cares if I live or die”.  The person who made this statement does not realize how much God loves us.  If we have accepted Jesus into our heart as our personal Saviour, God has adopted us into His family.

I praise God that on August 14, 1980, I admitted I was a sinner and asked God to forgive my sins and invited Jesus into my heart to be my personal Saviour.  On that day, I was born again spiritually and God adopted me into His family.  I am a part of the family of God which means that I have a big family.

What about you?  Are you a part of the family of God?  Have you allowed God to adopt you into His family?  When we invite Jesus into our heart, God adopts us and we are His children forever.  Our Heavenly Father loves us unconditionally.  God will never hit us or curse us.  He really cares about us.

If we know people who are hurting and lonely and really believe that no one cares about them, we need to tell them about the unconditional love of our Saviour and our Heavenly Father.  We can’t make it through this life without Them.  Life is too hard and we need Them to love us and protect us.
