ADOPTION

And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary,

 of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.

 Matthew 1:16 

Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli, 

Luke 3:23  

So when they saw Him, they were amazed;

 and His mother said to Him,

 "Son, why have You done this to us?

 Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously."

 And He said to them,

 "Why did you seek Me?

 Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?"

 But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them. Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth,

 and was subject to them,

 but His mother kept all these things in her heart.

 Luke 2:48-51 

The Son of GOD was willing to be adopted

 by an earthly father

 so that the sons of men could be adopted

 by the Heavenly Father.

For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear,

 but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out,

 "Abba, Father."

 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit

 that we are children of God,

 and if children, then heirs-

-heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,

 if indeed we suffer with Him,

 that we may also be glorified together.

 Romans 8:15-17 

The Spirit of adoption is the Holy Spirit, 

Who is the Spirit of GOD,

 Who is the Spirit of JESUS.

Invite Him now by asking Him to come into your heart.

As you receive this Spirit of adoption,

 you will become a child of the Most High GOD!!

Welcome to the Family!!

With Love,

Your brother and sister in CHRIST.
