Adoption: God’s Greatest Gift Reconnect – October 11, 2009 Text: Ephesians 1:3-6, Galatians 4:3-7, Romans 18:14-17, John 1:10-13 Key Thought: Adoption is God’s greatest gift – but to choose it we must see the whole picture: that it is beautiful and hard at the same time. How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we belong to Christ. Long ago, even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the wonderful kindness he has poured out on us because we belong to his dearly loved Son. Ephesians 1:3-6, NLT
