Many Christians sincerely love God, attend church faithfully, read their Bibles, and pray regularly. Yet beneath the surface, many carry a quiet burden. They wonder if they have done enough. They fear disappointing God. They compare themselves to other believers and feel they never quite measure up. They serve tirelessly, but rarely experience peace.
Have you ever felt that way?
If so, you are not alone.
The surprising truth is that many believers live more like servants than sons. They know God as Creator. They know Jesus as Savior. Yet they struggle to know God as Father.
This is often described as an “orphan spirit.” While that exact phrase does not appear in Scripture, the Bible clearly contrasts the mindset of slavery with the identity of sonship. Understanding that difference changes everything.
The issue is not whether God has accepted His children. The issue is whether His children believe what He has already declared about them.
That is why this study matters.
By the end of this series, you’ll see that the gospel is much more than forgiveness from sin. It is God’s invitation into His family. Through Jesus Christ, we move from fear to freedom, from striving to resting, and from being subjects under authority to sons and daughters who know their Father’s heart.
The Bible Begins with Family, Not Religion
To understand Kingdom identity, we must return to the beginning.
In Genesis 1:26–28, God created humanity in His own image and gave mankind dominion over the earth. Adam was not created to earn God’s favor. He already possessed it.
Before Adam accomplished anything, he already belonged.
This truth is reinforced later in Luke’s genealogy, where Adam is called “the son of God” (Luke 3:38).
That detail is easy to overlook, but it reveals something profound.
God’s original design was not simply to rule over people. His desire was to have a family that reflected His character throughout creation.
Identity came before responsibility.
Relationship came before assignment.
Being came before doing.
This order remains true throughout Scripture.
Unfortunately, many believers reverse that order. They spend their lives trying to do enough so they can finally feel accepted.
The Bible teaches exactly the opposite.
God’s acceptance always comes before Kingdom service.
What Changed in the Garden?
The fall of mankind introduced something deeper than guilt.
Most Christians understand that sin separates us from God.
Fewer realize that sin also distorted how humanity viewed God.
After Adam sinned, notice his immediate response.
He hid.
He became afraid.
He blamed others.
He questioned God’s goodness.
Did God stop pursuing Adam?
No.
God came looking for him.
The relationship had been damaged by sin, but God’s heart had not changed.
Adam’s perception had changed.
Fear replaced trust.
Shame replaced confidence.
Distance replaced intimacy.
This pattern has repeated itself ever since.
Many believers today still hide from God emotionally, even while attending church every week.
When they fail, they pull away instead of drawing near.
When they struggle, they assume God must be disappointed.
When life becomes difficult, they question whether the Father truly loves them.
These responses reveal a deeper issue than behavior.
They reveal identity.
Israel Carried Egypt in Their Hearts
The Old Testament gives us another powerful picture.
When God delivered Israel from Egypt, He redeemed them before giving them the Law.
Grace came first.
Obedience came second.
That order matters.
Yet throughout the wilderness journey, Israel repeatedly acted like slaves.
They feared lack.
They complained.
They wanted to return to Egypt.
They doubted God’s promises.
Why?
Because although they had left Egypt physically, Egypt had not left them mentally.
Their location changed.
Their identity did not.
Many Christians experience something similar.
They have been saved from sin, yet they continue living as though they are still enslaved to fear, guilt, or performance.
Freedom begins in the heart before it appears in daily living.
That is why the renewal of the mind is central to Christian growth.
God is not merely changing where His people are going.
He is changing how they think.
Religion Often Creates Subjects
Throughout history, kingdoms ruled through subjects.
Subjects obeyed because the king possessed authority.
Their acceptance depended upon performance.
Failure often brought punishment.
Sadly, many believers unknowingly project that earthly model onto God.
Instead of approaching Him as Father, they approach Him like nervous servants trying to avoid making mistakes.
Their prayers become negotiations.
Their worship becomes obligation.
Their service becomes exhausting.
Eventually, burnout follows.
Jesus never intended His followers to live this way.
His invitation was radically different.
Again and again, Jesus spoke of His Father.
Then He taught His disciples to pray, “Our Father.”
That simple phrase changed everything.
God was not inviting people into another religion.
He was inviting them into His family.
How Jesus Changes Everything: From Slavery to Sonship
If the story ended in Genesis 3, humanity would have no hope.
Adam and Eve sinned. Fear entered the human heart. Shame replaced confidence. Instead of walking with God in the cool of the day, they hid from Him.
Yet even in the middle of mankind’s rebellion, God began revealing His plan to restore what had been lost.
That plan was never simply about forgiving sin.
It was about restoring the family.
Many Christians understand the cross as the place where their sins were forgiven. That is gloriously true. But the New Testament teaches something even bigger. Jesus did not come only to remove our guilt. He came to restore our relationship with the Father.
The gospel is not simply an escape from judgment.
It is an invitation into God’s household.
Understanding this truth changes how we read the entire Bible.
Jesus Came to Reveal the Father
One of the most remarkable features of Jesus’ ministry is how often He spoke about the Father.
The Old Testament certainly reveals God as Father in several places, especially in His relationship with Israel. Yet Jesus made the Father’s heart the center of His teaching.
Again and again, He spoke of “My Father.”
Then He taught His disciples to pray:
“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.” (Matthew 6:9, KJV)
That opening phrase would have been astonishing to many of His listeners.
Jesus was inviting ordinary people into a relationship with God that was marked by intimacy, trust, and love.
The Kingdom of God was not merely about obeying a King.
It was about belonging to a Father.
Throughout the Gospels, Jesus consistently demonstrated what perfect sonship looks like.
He lived in complete dependence upon the Father.
He sought the Father’s will.
He trusted the Father’s timing.
He obeyed without fear.
Everything Jesus did flowed from His relationship with the Father.
That relationship becomes the pattern for every believer.
John’s Gospel Reveals Our New Identity
One of the clearest statements about spiritual identity appears near the beginning of John’s Gospel.
John writes:
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (John 1:12, KJV)
Notice the order.
First, people receive Christ.
Then they become God’s children.
This is important because religion often reverses the order.
Religion says you become acceptable by performing well enough.
The gospel says acceptance comes first because of Jesus.
Good works are the fruit of salvation, not the cause of it.
This truth protects believers from two dangerous errors.
The first is pride.
If salvation depended on our performance, we would have reason to boast.
The second is despair.
If salvation depended on our performance, we would constantly wonder if we had done enough.
The gospel removes both.
Our confidence rests completely in Jesus Christ.
The Spirit of Bondage Versus the Spirit of Adoption
Few passages explain this better than Romans 8.
Paul writes:
“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” (Romans 8:15, KJV)
This verse presents two completely different ways of living.
The Spirit of Bondage
Bondage produces fear.
It constantly asks questions like:
- Have I done enough?
- Is God angry with me?
- What if I fail again?
- What if I lose His love?
Fear becomes the driving motivation.
People obey because they are terrified of rejection.
They pray because they feel guilty.
They serve because they hope God will finally be pleased with them.
This is not freedom.
It is spiritual slavery.
The Spirit of Adoption
Paul says believers have received something entirely different.
They have received the Spirit of adoption.
The Greek word translated “adoption” refers to being placed into the full legal standing of a son with all the rights of inheritance.
This means believers are not probationary members of God’s family.
They are fully accepted through Christ.
Notice what the Holy Spirit produces.
He does not lead us into greater fear.
He teaches us to cry,
“Abba, Father.”
The Holy Spirit continually points believers toward the Father’s love.
He reminds us that we belong.
He produces confidence rather than insecurity.
He produces worship rather than striving.
What Does “Abba” Really Mean?
Much has been written about the word “Abba.”
It is an Aramaic family expression used to address a father.
Some describe it as meaning “Daddy,” although that comparison can oversimplify its meaning.
A better understanding is that it expresses deep affection, trust, and closeness while still maintaining respect.
Paul’s point is not to define a vocabulary word.
His point is to describe a relationship.
Because of Christ, believers can approach God with confidence rather than terror.
That does not remove reverence.
Instead, it transforms fear into loving trust.
Galatians 4 Explains Why Jesus Came
Paul develops the same theme in Galatians 4.
He explains that before Christ, God’s people were like children under guardians.
Then he writes:
“But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son… to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.” (Galatians 4:4–5, KJV)
Notice the beautiful sequence.
The Father sent His Son.
The Son accomplished redemption.
Then believers received adoption.
Paul continues:
“And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” (Galatians 4:6, KJV)
This is one of the richest passages in the New Testament.
The Father sends the Son.
The Son secures redemption.
The Spirit confirms our adoption.
The entire Trinity is involved in restoring God’s family.
Christianity is much more than following Jesus as an example.
It is sharing in His relationship with the Father through the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Never Served to Earn the Father’s Love
Think about Jesus’ baptism.
Before Jesus preached a sermon…
Before He healed a sick person…
Before He performed a miracle…
The Father declared:
“This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17, KJV)
That statement came before His public ministry began.
The Father’s approval did not come after Jesus’ works.
His works flowed from His identity.
This pattern matters for every believer.
Religion teaches:
Work harder so God will accept you.
The gospel teaches:
You are accepted in Christ.
Now live in a way that reflects your new identity.
Obedience becomes the fruit of love rather than an attempt to purchase it.
Why So Many Christians Still Feel Like Orphans
If these truths are so clear in Scripture, why do many believers continue living with insecurity?
Several biblical reasons stand out.
They understand forgiveness but not adoption.
Many churches emphasize forgiveness, and rightly so.
But the New Testament goes further.
Salvation also brings us into God’s family.
The cross does more than cancel our debt.
It gives us a new name.
They confuse discipline with rejection.
Hebrews 12 teaches that God disciplines those He loves.
Loving correction is evidence of sonship, not rejection.
Earthly fathers discipline their children because they belong to the family.
Our heavenly Father does the same.
Discipline is designed to mature us, not push us away.
They allow failure to define them.
Every believer stumbles.
The difference is how they respond.
An orphan mindset says,
“I failed, so God must not want me.”
A son or daughter says,
“I failed, so I will run back to my Father.”
The difference is not perfection.
The difference is where we run after we fall.
Identity Always Comes Before Responsibility
One pattern appears throughout Scripture.
God establishes identity before assigning responsibility.
Adam was created before receiving dominion.
Israel was redeemed before receiving the Law.
The disciples were called before being sent.
Believers are adopted before they are instructed how to live.
Paul follows this same pattern in his letters.
For example, the first half of Ephesians focuses on what God has done for believers.
They are chosen.
Adopted.
Redeemed.
Forgiven.
Sealed with the Holy Spirit.
Only after establishing identity does Paul begin explaining how Christians should live.
Doctrine comes before duty.
Grace comes before growth.
Identity comes before obedience.
When believers reverse that order, they begin striving instead of resting.
But when identity is settled, obedience becomes an expression of love.
The Older Brother Syndrome—How Faithful Believers Can Still Think Like Orphans
One of the greatest misconceptions about the “orphan spirit” is that it only affects people who have wandered far from God.
Jesus tells a different story.
In Luke 15, He presents three parables about things that were lost: a sheep, a coin, and a son. Most readers focus on the younger son—the one who squandered his inheritance in reckless living. His story is dramatic and unforgettable.
But Jesus does not end the parable there.
He introduces another son.
This older brother never left home.
He worked hard.
He obeyed.
He stayed faithful.
Yet when his younger brother returned, the older brother’s response exposed something deeply wrong within his own heart.
He had lived in his father’s house for years, but he did not truly know his father’s heart.
That is the tragedy Jesus wants us to see.
Two Lost Sons
Many people call Luke 15 the Parable of the Prodigal Son.
A better title might be The Parable of Two Lost Sons.
The younger son was lost geographically.
The older son was lost relationally.
One was far from the father’s house.
The other was close to the father’s house but distant from the father’s heart.
Jesus was speaking to two groups.
The tax collectors and sinners were represented by the younger brother.
The Pharisees and religious leaders were represented by the older brother.
Both needed the Father’s grace.
Both misunderstood His love.
The Younger Brother Returned Home
The younger brother demanded his inheritance early, left home, and wasted everything.
Eventually, famine struck.
Broken and humbled, he returned home expecting rejection.
Instead, the father ran to meet him.
In the culture of Jesus’ day, an elderly father did not run.
Yet this father did.
He embraced his son before hearing a speech.
He restored him before assigning him work.
He placed a robe on him.
He gave him a ring.
He put sandals on his feet.
Every gift pointed to restoration.
The son wanted to become a servant.
The father restored him as a son.
Grace always exceeds human expectations.
The Older Brother Stayed Home
Now Jesus shifts our attention.
The older brother hears music and celebration.
Instead of rejoicing, he becomes angry.
Listen carefully to his words:
“Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment…” (Luke 15:29, KJV)
At first glance, his statement sounds admirable.
But notice one important word.
“I serve thee.”
The Greek word behind “serve” carries the idea of serving as a slave.
The older brother did not see himself as a beloved son.
He saw himself as a laborer earning approval.
His identity had become rooted in performance.
That is the heart of an orphan mindset.
What the Older Brother Believed
His words reveal several false beliefs.
“My value comes from what I do.”
He measured his relationship with the father by years of faithful service.
He believed obedience earned affection.
Many believers fall into the same trap.
They silently think:
“If I pray enough, God will love me more.”
“If I volunteer more, God will be pleased.”
“If I never fail, then I will finally feel accepted.”
The gospel says otherwise.
God’s love is not earned.
It is received through Christ.
“Someone else’s blessing threatens mine.”
The older brother could not celebrate his brother’s restoration.
Instead, he compared.
Comparison is one of the clearest symptoms of spiritual insecurity.
When identity is rooted in performance, another person’s success feels like our failure.
Kingdom thinking is different.
The Father’s resources are not limited.
One child’s blessing does not diminish another’s inheritance.
“The Father owes me.”
The older brother believed his years of service entitled him to special treatment.
Performance-based religion always creates entitlement.
Grace creates gratitude.
The more we understand God’s mercy, the less we believe He owes us anything.
Instead, we marvel that He has already given us everything through Christ.
The Father’s Beautiful Response
The father’s reply is gentle.
He says:
“Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.” (Luke 15:31, KJV)
Notice what he does not say.
He does not argue about the older brother’s work.
He does not debate his complaints.
He reminds him of his identity.
“Son…”
Everything begins there.
Then comes relationship.
“You are always with me.”
Finally comes inheritance.
“All that I have is yours.”
The older brother already possessed what he thought he lacked.
His problem was not access.
His problem was perspective.
How many believers today are asking God for what He has already promised in Christ?
They live as though they are spiritual paupers while standing in the Father’s house.
The Difference Between a Servant and a Son
The New Testament consistently contrasts these two mindsets.
A servant asks:
“What must I do?”
A son asks:
“What has my Father said?”
A servant works for acceptance.
A son works from acceptance.
A servant fears losing favor.
A son rests in the Father’s faithfulness.
A servant sees commands as burdens.
A son sees obedience as an expression of love.
This does not mean sons obey less.
Quite the opposite.
True obedience flows more naturally when it grows out of love instead of fear.
Jesus Himself said:
“If ye love me, keep my commandments.” (John 14:15, KJV)
Love comes first.
Obedience follows.
Jesus Is the Perfect Son
The older brother in Luke 15 failed to reflect the father’s heart.
Jesus never did.
Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus perfectly revealed what true sonship looks like.
He trusted the Father completely.
He obeyed willingly.
He served joyfully.
He never compared Himself to others.
He never questioned the Father’s love.
Even in the Garden of Gethsemane, when facing the cross, Jesus prayed:
“Not my will, but thine, be done.” (Luke 22:42, KJV)
His obedience flowed from perfect trust.
Jesus did not obey because He feared rejection.
He obeyed because He delighted in the Father’s will.
That is the pattern believers are invited to follow.
The Cross Opens the Father’s House
The older brother never entered the celebration.
The parable ends without telling us what he decided.
Jesus leaves the ending open because He is inviting His listeners to answer the question themselves.
Will we stay outside, clinging to self-righteousness?
Or will we enter the Father’s joy?
The answer is found in Jesus.
Through His death and resurrection, Christ accomplished what neither brother could.
The younger brother needed forgiveness.
The older brother needed transformation.
Jesus provides both.
At the cross, our sins are forgiven.
Through His resurrection, we receive new life.
By the Holy Spirit, we are welcomed into God’s family.
The Father’s house is open—not because we have earned the right to enter, but because the Son has made the way.
Are You Living Like an Heir?
Take a moment to examine your own heart.
Do you find yourself constantly trying to prove your worth to God?
Do you compare your spiritual life with other believers?
Do you struggle to believe God delights in you because you belong to Christ?
When you fail, do you run toward the Father or away from Him?
These questions are not meant to produce guilt.
They are invitations to honest reflection.
The gospel does not merely change where you will spend eternity.
It changes how you live today.
When your identity is secure in Christ, you no longer serve God to gain His approval.
You serve because you already have it through Jesus.
That truth transforms prayer, worship, obedience, generosity, and every other area of the Christian life.
Living Like a Son Every Day—How Kingdom Identity Transforms Your Walk with God
Throughout this series, we’ve explored one life-changing truth.
God did not save you merely to forgive your sins.
He saved you to bring you into His family.
That single truth changes how you read Scripture, how you pray, how you worship, how you serve, and how you respond when you fail.
The gospel is much more than a legal declaration that your sins have been forgiven.
It is the Father’s invitation to become part of His household through His Son, Jesus Christ.
The New Testament returns to this theme again and again because God knows that lasting transformation begins with identity.
Behavior changes when the heart understands who it truly is.
That is why the apostles consistently established identity before giving instruction.
Paul’s Pattern: Identity Before Instruction
One of the clearest examples appears in the book of Ephesians.
The first three chapters focus almost entirely on what God has already done for believers.
Paul reminds Christians that they have been:
- Chosen before the foundation of the world.
- Blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
- Redeemed through the blood of Jesus.
- Forgiven according to God’s grace.
- Adopted into God’s family.
- Sealed with the Holy Spirit.
- Given an eternal inheritance.
Notice what Paul is doing.
Before he tells believers how to live, he reminds them who they are.
Only in chapter four does he write:
“I therefore… beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called.” (Ephesians 4:1, KJV)
The order is intentional.
Paul does not say:
“Walk worthy so that God will adopt you.”
He says:
“You have already been adopted. Now live in a way that reflects your new identity.”
This pattern appears throughout the New Testament.
Grace always comes before growth.
Relationship always comes before responsibility.
Identity always comes before instruction.
When Christians reverse that order, the result is frustration.
When they embrace God’s order, the result is freedom.
Hebrews 12 Changes How We View Discipline
Another reason believers struggle with an orphan mindset is because they misunderstand God’s discipline.
Many assume that hardship means God has rejected them.
The writer of Hebrews teaches the exact opposite.
He says that the Father disciplines those He loves.
Earthly fathers discipline their children because they belong to the family.
A loving father does not discipline the neighbor’s children.
He disciplines his own.
The same is true spiritually.
God’s correction is never evidence that He has abandoned His children.
It is evidence that they belong to Him.
Discipline is not punishment designed to satisfy God’s anger.
Jesus satisfied God’s righteous judgment at the cross.
Instead, discipline is loving correction that shapes believers into the likeness of Christ.
An orphan interprets correction as rejection.
A son receives correction as love.
That difference changes everything.
Romans 8 Removes Condemnation
Perhaps no chapter captures the believer’s security better than Romans 8.
Paul begins with these powerful words:
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus…” (Romans 8:1, KJV)
Notice what Paul does not say.
He does not say believers never experience conviction.
The Holy Spirit lovingly convicts God’s children when they sin.
Conviction leads us back to the Father.
Condemnation pushes us away from Him.
Conviction says:
“You have sinned. Come home.”
Condemnation says:
“You have failed. Stay away.”
One voice reflects the heart of the Father.
The other does not.
When Peter denied Jesus three times, he eventually returned because grace drew him back.
Judas, overwhelmed by despair, isolated himself.
The difference was not the seriousness of the failure.
The difference was where they turned afterward.
Children run toward their Father.
Orphans run away.
Jesus Is the True Son
Every biblical theme we’ve explored ultimately points to Jesus.
Adam failed as God’s son.
Israel repeatedly failed as God’s son.
The kings of Israel failed.
The prophets could not fully restore the nation.
Humanity needed a perfect Son.
Jesus came to accomplish what no one else could.
He perfectly obeyed the Father.
He perfectly revealed the Father’s heart.
He perfectly fulfilled the Law.
He willingly gave His life on the cross.
He rose again in victory over sin and death.
Through faith in Him, believers are united with the Son.
This is why our identity is secure.
It does not rest on our consistency.
It rests on His perfection.
Our confidence is not found in how tightly we hold onto Christ.
It is found in how faithfully Christ holds onto us.
That is the foundation of Kingdom identity.
Living as a Son Changes Everything
When your identity is settled, every area of life begins to change.
Prayer becomes conversation instead of performance.
Worship becomes gratitude instead of obligation.
Bible study becomes an opportunity to know the Father’s heart rather than simply collect information.
Obedience becomes an expression of love rather than an attempt to earn approval.
Service becomes joyful instead of exhausting.
Even repentance changes.
Instead of hiding after failure, believers learn to run toward the Father, trusting His mercy and grace.
This is exactly what we see throughout the New Testament.
The closer believers draw to the Father, the more they become like His Son.
Transformation flows out of relationship.
Two Practical Ways to Live as a Son
Theology should always lead to transformation.
Biblical truth is meant to shape daily life.
Here are two practical applications rooted in Scripture.
1. Renew Your Mind with What God Says About You
One of the greatest battles in the Christian life is fought in the mind.
Many believers continue believing lies that were formed long before they came to Christ.
They think they are unwanted.
They believe they must earn God’s love.
They define themselves by past failures.
Scripture calls believers to renew their minds.
Spend time each day meditating on passages like Romans 8, Ephesians 1, Galatians 4, and 1 John 3.
Ask yourself:
“Am I viewing myself through my past experiences or through God’s Word?”
Allow Scripture—not emotions, culture, or past wounds—to define your identity.
The more your thinking aligns with biblical truth, the more your life will reflect the freedom of sonship.
2. Practice Running to the Father Instead of Hiding
Every believer fails.
The question is not whether you will stumble.
The question is what you will do afterward.
When Adam sinned, he hid.
When the prodigal son repented, he returned home.
Because of Jesus Christ, believers have direct access to the Father.
When you sin, confess it quickly.
Receive His forgiveness.
Thank Him for Christ’s finished work.
Then continue walking with Him.
Do not allow shame to isolate you.
The Father who welcomed the prodigal still welcomes His children today.
Running to Him is one of the clearest expressions of biblical faith.
The Kingdom Is Built on Family
From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture tells one unified story.
God created a family.
Sin fractured that relationship.
Jesus came to restore it.
The Holy Spirit now forms Christ’s character within God’s children until the day Christ returns.
The Kingdom of God is not built merely on servants carrying out assignments.
It is built on sons and daughters who reflect the character of their Father.
That is why Jesus repeatedly taught His followers to know God as “Our Father.”
The more we understand His fatherly love, the more our lives begin to resemble His Son.
Kingdom identity is not positive thinking.
It is not self-esteem.
It is not pretending to be something you are not.
It is believing what God has declared to be true because of Jesus Christ.
Final Thoughts
Perhaps you’ve spent years trying to earn what the Father has already offered through His Son.
Maybe you’ve served faithfully but secretly felt like the older brother in Luke 15—working hard while wondering if God truly delights in you.
Or perhaps you’ve identified more with the younger brother, convinced your failures have placed you beyond the Father’s reach.
The good news of the gospel speaks to both.
Jesus Christ came to seek and save the lost.
He bore our sin, satisfied God’s justice, conquered death, and opened the way back to the Father.
Because of Him, those who trust in Christ are no longer strangers, slaves, or spiritual orphans.
They are beloved sons and daughters, adopted into God’s family by grace through faith.
The invitation is not simply to believe that truth intellectually.
It is to live from it every day.
As you grow in your understanding of the Father’s love, you’ll discover that obedience becomes a joyful response instead of a fearful obligation. Service becomes worship instead of striving. And your life will increasingly reflect the One who made your adoption possible—Jesus Christ, the eternal Son who came so that we might become children of God.
