November is National Adoption Month. The term adoption has evolved considerably in modern Western society. While the term adoption used to primarily signify the adoption of a child, these days we can also adopt a dog or a cat - or nearly any pet for that matter. We can adopt a family, a tree, a highway and, surprisingly, we can even adopt an embryo not yet born.
There is one form of adoption that, while not as well-known as the rest, is more important than all the rest: the adoption of a believer into the family of God.
B.BéNI Christian Jewelry recently posted an article that addresses the concept of Biblical adoption. That article reads in part:
"It's November now and it is also National Adoption Month! The goal of National Adoption Month is to increase national awareness and bring attention to the need for permanent families for children and youths in the U.S. foster care system. Each year there is a focus on a particular adoption related theme. This year the focus is on teens and how securing lifelong family connections for teenagers is a critical component to their future well being on so many levels.
"Adoption has become a profoundly important topic for me ever since we started the process and eventually adopted our fourth child from China 16 years ago. Lately I have been giving a lot of though to the biblical concept of adoption; the concept of the admission of a believer into the family of God, with all the rights and responsibilities that go with that status. Pastor John Piper said it well when he taught, “The gospel is not a picture of adoption, adoption is a picture of the gospel.” I see this so clearly!
"Adoption was planned from the beginning. We were predestined for adoption before the creation of the world. God loves and pursues each of us even when we were wretched, angry, and broken beings. Despite our sorry state, we are loved and invited to partake of the transformational step: becoming God’s child. He hopes to give you life and have relationship with you. He has gone through all the legal proceedings of the cross in order to free you from the penalty and power of sin and to bring you in as a beloved child. God chose us, gave us his name and an eternal inheritance and even invites us to call him “Father”.
