Introducing the theme of adoption, the Apostle Paul says that all who are in Christ, all who are born of the Holy Spirit, “all who are led by the Spirit of God, are children of God.”

Being born again is the result of the radical work of the Holy Spirit in the human heart, resulting in a new nature in us that carries God's DNA. It binds our inner world to God as children are bound to their parents. We belong to Him and we are part of His family.

In Jesus Christ, through adoption, we have a stronghold. We know for a fact that He, trusting in the Father, lived a wholesome life on earth, overcoming all the hardships and trials decreed for Him by the Father, and triumphantly entered into glory. This is what gives us confidence.
