Adoption

We believe that adoption is the gracious act whereby the Father, for the sake of Christ, places new believers in to the honored position of mature son, in contrast with regeneration whereby the believer receives the nature of God and becomes a child of God. The full benefit of the position accorded by adoption as the sons of God awaits the glorification of the believer at the coming of the Lord and the redemption of the body. Ephesians 1:5,13,14; Galatians 4:1-7; I John 3:1,2; Romans 8:15,23.
