Hamilton727 View Profile History	Adoption Posted : 11 Sep, 2010 04:09 PM Definition Adoption is a definite act of God whereby God sets a goal for the believer Adoption subject that has to do with the sovereignty of God. Man has some choice in some subjects, but the ones that we are discussing have to do with acts of God. In the Bible it does not mean the same as adopting of a child. there is no word in our language that clearly expresses the thought of the greek word. Adoption more clearly expresses the thought that any other word word but falls short. Adoption means to be" Son placed," not "Son made.'' We are a Son of god the moment we are saved by God's grace. We have certain privileges as sons. God has provided these by His sovereign will for those who are sons. No one has been "Son Placed" yet. Somsday we shall be. We belong to Jesus now as much as we ever will, but but we have not arrived at the Goal which God has predestinated us to- the goal of adoption. See Ephesians 1:5 also Eph 2:7 The time of adoption Romans 8:23 Some teach that the new birth and adoption mean the same thing. No, this is not the teaching of the Bible. The new birth takes place when we receive the Lord Jesus as savior. Adoption will take place when I receive my glorified body. See Eph 1: 4-5 Post Reply
