What does it mean to be a child of God?
On 9 November, the world observed World Adoption Day, recognising the gift of family and the life-changing impact adoption has on children. But adoption carries an even deeper meaning for us as Christians. Through Jesus Christ, we have been adopted into God's family, given a new identity, and made co-heirs with Christ.
In Romans 8, Paul reminds us that we have received the Spirit of adoption, allowing us to call God "Abba, Father." But what does this incredible truth mean for our everyday lives? How does it change the way we approach God, see ourselves and face life's challenges?
