Adoption

There are three types of adoption for humans: unofficial, official and spiritual.

Unofficial adoptions are where people claim another person as a relative who is not a blood relative. They except and love each other as if they are family and tell everyone that they are family. Sometimes this comes out of personal relationships, sometimes it comes from shared emotional experiences like a tragedy or war. These bonds are as strong as any natural relationship and for some people they are stronger than their blood relationships.

Official adoptions are where someone decides to legally adopt another person, usually as a child with full legal rights as any natural born blood child. This can be arranged through an authorized agency for such adoptions that meet the legal standards of where they are living and from where they are adopting; like a state foster agency or a foreign country. This can also be done through the local legal agency by consenting parties such as combined families, or by people who see a need and want to help as more than a friend.

Spiritual adoption is only done by the True and Living GOD, YAHWEH, Who adopts people who repent of being a sinner and receive His Salvation through YESHUA His Son. The Almighty GOD Who created everything that exists wants every human to be His Child with all the legal rights that His Only Begotten Son YESHUA has.

John 1:11-13 “He came to His own and His own did not receive Him, but as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become Children of GOD, to those who believe in His Name: who were born not of blood nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of GOD.”

John 3:14-17 “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have Eternal Life. For GOD so Loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting Life. For GOD did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be Saved.”

John 12:34-36 “The people answered Him, ‘We have heard from The Law that The Christ remains forever; and how can You say, “The Son of Man must be lifted up?” Who is the Son of Man?’ Then JESUS said to them, ‘A little while longer The Light is with you. Walk while you have The Light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. While you have The Light, believe in The Light, that you may become Sons of Light.’ These things JESUS spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.”

Romans 8:14-17…22-23 “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 which we cry ‘Abba, Father.’ The SPIRIT Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are Children of GOD, and it Children, then Heirs–Heirs of GOD and joint Heirs with CHRIST, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may be glorified together…For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have The First Fruits of The SPIRIT, even we ourselves, eagerly waiting for The Adoption, The Redemption of our body.”

Romans 9:1-5 “I tell the Truth in CHRIST, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in The HOLY SPIRIT, that I have great sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed from CHRIST for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh, who are Israelites, to whom pertain the Adoption, the Glory, the Covenants, the giving of The Law, The Service of GOD, and The Promises; of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, CHRIST came, Who is over all, The Eternally Blessed GOD. Amen.”

Galatians 3:22-4:7 “But The scripture has confirmed all under sin, that The Promise by Faith in JESUS CHRIST might be given to those who believe. But before Faith came we were all kept under guard by the Law, kept for The Faith which would afterward be revealed. Therefore, The Law was our tutor to being us to CHRIST, that we might be Justified by Faith. But after Faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. For you are all Sons of GOD through CHRIST JESUS. For as many of you as were Baptized into CHRIST have put on CHRIST. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in CHRIST JESUS. And if you are CHRIST’s, then you are Abraham’s Seed, and Heirs according to The Promise. Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. But when the fulness of the time had come, GOD sent forth His son, born of a woman, born under The Law, to Redeem those who were under The Law, that we might receive The Adoption as Sons. And because we are Sons, GOD has sent forth The SPIRIT of His Son into our hearts, crying out, ‘Abba, Father!’ Therefore, you are no longer a slave but a Son, and if a Son, then an Heir of GOD through CHRIST.”

Ephesians 1:3-6 “Blessed be The GOD and Father of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, Who has Blessed us with every Spiritual Blessing in The Heavenly places in CHRIST, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be Holy and without blame before Him in Love, having predestined us to Adoption as Sons by JESUS CHRIST to Himself, according to the Good Pleasure of His Will, to the praise of The Glory of His Grace by which He made us accepted in The Beloved.”

Hebrews 12:3-8 “For consider Him Who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin; and you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as Sons: ‘My son, do not despise the chastening of The LORD, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; for whom The LORD Loves, He chastens, and scourges every Son He receives.’ If you endure chastening, GOD deals with you as with Sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not Sons.”

So, we are received by GOD The Father as Sons in CHRIST JESUS, we are made joint Heirs of GOD’s Eternal Kingdom and like our first born brother, JESUS, we are called to serve The Father’s Will for and through our lives. The purpose of our Salvation is not so we can go to Heaven, it is to preach the Gospel to all the nations, to make disciples, to lay hands on the sick so they recover, to cast out demons, to baptize new believers, to raise the dead, to know the time in which we live, to watch and be ready for CHRIST’s return.!
