How God Sees You: God Adopted Me as His Very Own Child

This is excerpted from The Surprising Joy of Discovering How God Sees You: A Daily Adventure with Your Identity in Christ

When the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children.

Galatians 4:4–5 NLT

Steps on Your Journey to Discover How God Sees You:

• The Amplified Bible translates verse 5: “To purchase the freedom of (to ransom, to redeem, to atone for) those who were subject to the Law, that we might be adopted and have sonship conferred upon us [and be recognized as God’s sons].”
• Romans 8:15 (ESV) says, “You did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’”
• When you were still a sinner, an enemy of God, He sent His only Son to pay for your penalty so that He could adopt you as His very own child. God could not adopt you without someone paying the penalty. Jesus paid it. Think about these questions:
• How much did it cost Jesus for you to be able to be God’s child?
• How much did it cost the Father to watch His Son go through all the pain for you?
• What was the result of Jesus’ work for you?
• What did God get out of it? He got us as his children, who would often cause Him pain because of our choices.
• At a concert I recently attended, Steven Curtis Chapman shared how, when he adopted his children, his view of God’s love for us totally changed. It showed him in new ways how much it cost God to adopt us. The choice to adopt us as His children came at a very high cost to the Father—watching His precious Son endure betrayal, mocking, hatred, death and more. Father God had to turn His back on His Son when Jesus took all our sins on Himself. Do you understand what God did for you in adopting you as His child? How has that changed your life?
• What difference has it made in your life that you went from being a slave to being a son? Take some time to consider the differences.
• Ask God to show you what it really means to be adopted as His child. Ask Him to show you any ways you are still living with a slave mentality, rather than a son or daughter mentality.
• You are now a prince or princess because the King of kings has adopted you as His very own child. Meditate on this today and in the coming days. If you would like to learn more about what it means to meditate on Scripture, go to the introduction of this book.

A Prayer for You:

Dear Lord God, thank You for being willing to send Your own Son to pay my price to take me from slavery to sonship. Teach me more of what this means and how it should affect my life. I give You permission to change my mentality so I see myself as Your child.
