Adoption

"Adoption is a process whereby a person assumes the parenting for another and, in so doing, permanently transfers all rights and responsibilities from the original parent or parents."-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


According to the bible, a miracle happened two thousand+ years ago - a virgin became pregnant!?* Yes,and gave birth to a child,Whose real Father is God Himself!
God gave His Son(Jesus Christ) for adoption to a man named Joseph,a descendant/bloodline of king David.That His plan of redemption which is "To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons." Gal 4:5.  "Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,.." Eph 1:5.


So God gave His only Son for adoption so that through the same Son's Blood/bloodline! He will adopt many many more sons to Himself.Isn't that wonderful!
Therefore we know this :""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." Rom 8:15. 
We now know that our Father is God,Who art in heaven!

Reason for Xmas season...

Once again,it's time to reflect on the eternal plan of Redemption - that God,through Christ's birth,death,resurrection and ascension unto the throne room with His Blood,are we saved!
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." John 3:16-17.
By the shedding of His precious blood,we NOW have access to the throne room of God!

"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb,.." Rev 12:11 for His Blood is everywhere in the throne room where no devil can stand in! The enemy can't stand the witness of this precious Blood of the Lamb.
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,.." Rom 8:1, for this is our salvation & faith in Him "And take the helmet of salvation,.." Eph 6:17 and guard your mind with this truth yearly throughout this season.

Know this for sure: "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32 and as we remain in Christ,all the devil's work will be undone.

Guard(& guide) your mind with this truth so as to stand firm in Christ...and have a Merry Xmas!!!

Salvation!

Salvation,is it now or till then?
Rev 12:10  "And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation,and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."

Let me put this verse in another way:
Rev 12:10  "...Now is come salvation,...: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."

Whao!!!!!! The accusser is cast down!!He(devil) has NO MORE access to the court...he can't plead any more case against any that believes in Christ!!The devil is done with!

Do you remember the woman caught in adultery in John 8:1-11?
"When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman,"None! "he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."-John 8:10-11.
And don't forget this too:
"For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,.."
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."-[1Th 5:9 & Rom 8:1].
