I wonder if we truly realize what is meant by the adoption into God’s family. Our adoption gives us the ability to call God our Father and to connect with each other as family members. Relying on Him for our protection and provision is no slight change in our status. We have an inheritance that cannot be measured by any earthly standard. Dino really love each day as an adoptee into this family? Do I run to my Father with everything? Do I treat my fellow Christ followers as family? Do I share my struggles and questions with my brothers? I’m doing better but I’ve got a long way to go.
“The truth is that we are not good people who make mistakes; we are sinful people in need of mercy. Because it requires humility to accept what our hearts are truly like, those same hearts will tend to prefer to be deceived by preachers of self-esteem and self-confidence rather than listen to prophets such as Jeremiah.” - Allistair Begg
