Ep. 43 - I Am Adopted
Listen now
Description
We are a few weeks into a series called “Who do you think you are?” You don’t have to look long or far to realize that our world is having an identity crisis. Everywhere we look, people are on a constant search to define themselves, to make themselves significant or important, to figure out who they are. The good news for us, as we’ve seen the last couple weeks, is that the Bible has lots to say about who we are. It communicates that those of us who are in Christ have a brand new identity. So in this series, our goal is to really consider what the Bible says about us. What does it say about us apart from Jesus? What does it say about us now that we are in a relationship with Jesus? So far we’ve seen the Bible use a number of metaphors to communicate what God has done for us in Christ, and what that means for our identity. We’ve seen that we are justified— legally forgiven and declared righteous in God’s sight, we’re redeemed—set free from sin’s penalty and power, and we’re reconciled— God has made us his friends. Today, it gets even sweeter. We are going to find that in Christ we are adopted, made part of God’s own family. Memory Verse of the Week - 1 John 3:1a - "See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are." **Bible study portion starts at 10:03**
