“If the love of a father will not make a child delight in him, what will?” - John Owen
Reformed Christians are thoroughly conversant with the language of justification and sanctification, but adoption seems to have fallen out of our vocabulary. A lack of awareness of our adoption in Christ only paralyzes a Christian’s experience of divine grace. It is a Christian’s adoption in Christ that holds together the categories of justification and sanctification. Adoption is what a Christian is saved to through faith in Christ, a personal, family bond of love, life, blessing, and calling. As children of God we have family privileges and obligations; to know and embrace these is to enter into the fullness of vital Christian living.
The 3 workshop session messages of Children of God: Adopted into the Father's Love include:
- “Children in the Church” by Joel Beeke
- “Male Leadership and Female Ministry in the Church” by Richard Phillips
