Adoption

“Let us pause and contemplate these things. Let us arouse ourselves to a realisation through the Spirit of what adoption means and the things that follow from it. Let us spend less time with the newspapers and with all the talk about worldly honours. Let us face these things; they belong to us. We, as Christians, have been predestined to the adoption of children unto God himself. Praise be unto God for having raised us up to such an indescribable height of glory.”   D M Lloyd-Jones
