- God has adopted us—rebellious, hateful, selfish sinners—into his family, and he has made us his own children. He has made us his legal heirs; everything he owns is now ours. Saving, delivering, rescuing—these are at the center of God’s being. Adoption is a way for us to be a living picture of God and of the gospel. It’s a way to portray the adoptive love of God before the watching world, before the hosts of heaven, and before God himself—right in our own home.
(These reasons were originally in the form of a letter that we shared with our families when we announced our decision to begin the adoption process).
