Ephesians 1:5 points to a key purpose in God’s creation of man, “Having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,…” God takes great pleasure in adopting us because adoption legalizes His eternal purpose which is first to redeem man’s rebellion and second to restore lost Sonship. Romans 11 declares God’s adopted family will provoke the original family to jealousy.
Lift up your voice that you will not catch and drop the gift God ordained for you in the Name of Jesus. Pray you will not be among those that miss your life assignment and purpose.
God’s eternal purpose uses the adopted children to make the original children jealous and cause them to desire reconciliation. Jewish people walked away from their covenant at least three times in Scripture. Each time they suffered a tremendous penalty. God had a plan to harvest the nations that Christ died for. In that plan the key to grafting back in the original family was the full magnitude of what He was going to do for the adopted family. This had been carefully thought out, purposed before earth began and implemented for salvation and the ingathering of His full family. The Lord continues to unfold His plan in every generation, and it is marvelous beyond words. Many of the adopted children still view themselves as servants when they are truly sons and daughters of royalty. God is our Father! The times and seasons we live in require confident Christians who can represent God in the full measure of His love and His authority! For a relatively short period of time the early church achieved this. The place for us to start is by accepting our birthright and embracing what many believers are forfeiting through neglect.
