“If the love of a father will not make a child delight in him, what will?” John Owen Reformed Christians are thoroughly conversant with the language of justification and sanctification, but adoption seems to have fallen out of our vocabulary. This would be a shocking situation to Christians of prior generations. A lack of awareness of our adoption in Christ only paralyzes a Christian’s experience of divine grace. As Paul saw it, our adoption is integral to the good news of the gospel: “You are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God” (Gal. 4:7)! Speakers
