Predestined for Adoption into the Family of God

Text: Ephesians 1

If you belong to Christ, you have been adopted into God’s family. You are no longer an orphan wandering alone through life, but a beloved child welcomed home. You can now call the Most High your Father. You have an older brother named Jesus who protects you. And you are an heir of everything in your Father’s house – all his riches now belong to you. Remember and stand firm in this high calling and identity today.

Questions:

1. What does it mean to you to call God your Father?
2. How should your adoption shape your view of yourself and others?
