God’s desire to adopt us as his children is at the very heart of the gospel. Understanding the role of adoption in Greco-Roman times, enriches the process of us being adopted out of slavery to sin, and becoming coheirs with Christ. There is no greater joy than the privilege of being adopted by God through faith in Jesus. For in Jesus, we enjoy the liberties and privileges of being the children of God, both now and in the kingdom to come.
