Perhaps you know people who have adopted children. Perhaps you were adopted. After you were born, another family brought you into their home, and those parents raised you as their own child. God has done something like that with us. We were outside the family of God. Yet by His grace in Christ, God brought us into His family. In this episode, I discuss the biblical idea of adoption. I also show you why this is important and give you some simple tasks to help you grow.
