In Love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in Beloved - Ephesians 1:4-6 in adoption, God legally places regenerated and justified sinners into his family, so that they become sons and daughters of God and thus enjoys all the rights and privileges of one who is a member of God's eternal family.
