God
decided in advance to Adopt us into His own Family,
(As
Creation is the Finished Work of God (Hebrews 4:3)),
By
bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ.
(Ephesians
1:5, NLT)
The
Spirit you received does not make you Slaves,
So
that you live in Fear again; rather,
The
Spirit you received
Brought
about your Adoption to sonship (daughtership).
And
by Him we cry, ”Abba, Father.”
(Romans
8:15)
The
Sin Nature, that each of us was born with,
Made
us Estranged from the Kingdom of God;
We had
no place in it.
But
God in His Mercy and Grace Adopted us
Out of
this Estranged Condition
And
brought us into His Family,
Causing
us to be Born Again, Born of the Spirit of God,
Making
us his sons and daughters,
By the
Power of His Spirit.
And at
the return of Christ Jesus,
We
will be changed from Flesh, to entirely Spiritual.
I
declare to you, brothers,
That
Flesh and blood cannot Inherit the Kingdom of God,
Nor
does the Perishable Inherit the Imperishable
Listen,
I tell you a Mystery:
We
will not all sleep,
BUT
WE WILL ALL BE CHANGED--
In
a Flash, in the Twinkling of an eye,
AT
THE LAST TRUMPET .
For
the Trumpet will sound,
The
Dead will be Raised IMPERISHABLE,
AND
WE WILL ALL BE CHANGED.
For
the Perishable must clothe itself with the Imperishable,
And
the Mortal with Immortality.
(1
Corinthians 15:50-53)
Such
is our Adoption, by God's Magnificent Grace.
