I have seen alot of these things in our relationship with God. HE is raising us as adopted children, brothers and sisters to Jesus, heirs to his throne. God, our father in heaven has adopted us. Hopefully we will all learn from our adopted father to be more like him so that we may all share in the inheritance of His kingdom. Gives a different meaning to Fathers Day.
Adoption is a biblical idea.
As the father of two adopted children and, at this time, two foster children, Adoption means that you are being raised by people who love you even though you are not exactly like them. Over the years, the adoptive parents have influence over you and hope that you learn and take on some of their best traits, but ultimately it is up to the child. They are your heirs.
