Adoption - A Sermon on Ephesians 1:5

www.mljtrust.o...
Christians are adopted by God because He chose them. With careful attention to the details of Paul’s letters, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explores the purpose of salvation and the implications of being adopted into God’s family. To help grasp the significance of this doctrine, Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that the term “adoption” emphasizes the standing and rank of the chosen child. In this sermon on adoption from Ephesians 1:5, Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that regeneration addresses the Christian’s nature, whereas adoption is about the legal standing of the child. Adoption is the highest expression of God’s love towards His chosen people. It is the love of a Father for His child, the love of God for His creation. Children of God must live holy lives in keeping with their identity. The privileges of God’s household are found throughout Paul’s letters. Christians are His sons and daughters and, as the Scriptures say, heirs with Christ.

"In a world so preoccupied with “finding our true destiny,” it’s easy to become consumed with personal fulfillment and self-expression. But as the Apostle Paul so boldly declared, there is no greater fulfillment or purpose we can find than knowing Jesus Christ and being shaped into His likeness. This is the Christian’s true destiny. All personal pursuits and achievements are meaningless in light of this great privilege." - Eric Ludy
