Bible Verses About
Adoption
Verses on spiritual adoption — God's act of choosing you as His own child through Jesus Christ, giving you full rights as an heir.
You were not an afterthought — you were chosen. These verses on adoption declare that God predestined you to be adopted as His child through Jesus Christ. You have received the spirit of adoption by which you cry Abba, Father. You are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then an heir. This is not a metaphor — it is a legal, spiritual, eternal reality. The God of the universe has looked at you and said: you are mine. That changes everything.
“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.”
