Adopted

For those of you who haven't ever thought about it, as Christ-followers, we are adopted into the family of God. That means that we are not just followers, even though we are called to follow; that means we are not just servants, even though we are called to serve. We are children, and we are called to love our Father just as His "genetic" son loves Him. Not only are we adopted by the Heavenly Father, but He also gives us an inheritance in Him, just like Jesus has. How cool is that! He chose us, He adopted us, and He is giving us the greatest gift possible--an eternity spent knowing Him. And guess what...that starts now, not when we die. Check it out...it's in the Word.
