We are adopted....

Adoption is a process whereby a person assumes the parenting for another who is not kin and, in so doing, permanently transfers all rights and responsibilities from the original parent or parents......This is the standard for earthly adoption.....All this and more is what we get as God's children..... He has assured us that when we come to Him we are adopted by Him and become heirs in the Household of Faith.......Soooo.....No more cowering, no more condemnation,no more fear, no more caution, no more insecurity.....We BELONG.....


For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 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."

All those led by God's Spirit are God's sons. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, " Abba, Father!" The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God's children,

Porque todos los que son guiados por el Espíritu de Dios son hijos de Dios. Y ustedes no recibieron un espíritu que de nuevo los esclavice al miedo, sino el Espíritu que los adopta como hijos y les permite clamar: «¡*Abba! ¡Padre!» El Espíritu mismo le asegura a nuestro espíritu que somos hijos de Dios.

Alle, die sich vom Geist Gottes regieren lassen, sind Kinder Gottes. 15 [b]Denn der Geist Gottes, den ihr empfangen habt, führt euch nicht in eine neue Sklaverei, in der ihr wieder Angst haben müsstet. Er macht euch vielmehr zu Gottes Kindern. Jetzt können wir zu Gott kommen und zu ihm sagen: »Vater, lieber Vater!« 16 [c]Gottes Geist selbst gibt uns die innere Gewissheit, dass wir Gottes Kinder sind.

Car ceux qui sont conduits par l'Esprit de Dieu sont fils de Dieu.
En effet, vous n'avez pas reçu un Esprit qui fait de vous des esclaves et vous ramène à la crainte: non, vous avez reçu l'Esprit qui fait de vous des fils adoptifs[a] de Dieu. Car c'est par cet Esprit que nous crions: Abba[b], c'est-à-dire Père!
L'Esprit Saint lui-même et notre esprit nous témoignent ensemble[c] que nous sommes enfants de Dieu.

Poiché tutti quelli che sono condotti dallo Spirito di Dio sono figli di Dio.
Voi infatti non avete ricevuto uno spirito di schiavitú per cadere nuovamente nella paura, ma avete ricevuto lo Spirito di adozione per il quale gridiamo: «Abba, Padre»
Lo Spirito stesso rende testimonianza al nostro spirito che noi siamo figli di Dio.


Kwa maana wote wanaoongozwa na Roho wa Mungu ni wana wa Mungu. Hamkupewa Roho anayewafanya kuwa tena watumwa wa hofu. Lakini mmepokea Roho anayewafanya kuwa wana. Na kwa Roho huyo tunaweza kumwita Mungu, ``Abba! Baba!'' Ni Roho mwenyewe anayeshuhudia pamoja na roho zetu kwamba sisi ni wana wa Mungu.


Want allen die door de Geest van God geleid worden, zijn zonen van God.
Wij hoeven dus geen slaven van de angst meer te zijn. Nee, God heeft ons een andere geest gegeven. Wij zijn door Hem aangenomen als zonen. En doordat Zijn Geest in ons woont, roepen wij: "Abba! Vader!"
Want in ons diepste wezen overtuigt Gods Geest ons ervan dat wij kinderen van God zijn.


Unlike guardianship or other systems designed for the care of the young, adoption is intended to effect a PERMANENT CHANGE IN STATUS..... and we are are changed when we call God Abba.........However you say it, whenever you say it know that by His grace He has opened to us all that He is and all that He has and has changed our status from stranger and illegal aliens to sons and daughters and Citizens of the Commonwealth of Israel.....


Love in any language, straight from the heart
Pulls us all together
And never apart
And once we learn to speak it
All the world will hear
Love in any language
Fluently spoken here


Say it aloud !..... I'M ADOPTED AND PROUD OF IT .....

Anybody second the motion?
