Signed, Sealed, Adopted

Oct 12, 2025    Chris Winegar

In this powerful message, we're invited to explore the profound concept of adoption in our spiritual lives. The focus is on Galatians 4:1-7, where Paul explains how we move from being slaves to becoming sons and daughters of God. This isn't just about a change in status; it's about a complete transformation in our relationship with God. We're challenged to see ourselves not just as pardoned criminals, but as beloved children with full access to our Heavenly Father. The speaker draws a compelling parallel between earthly adoption and our spiritual adoption, highlighting how we often continue to live with an 'orphan mentality' even after we've been fully accepted into God's family. This insight invites us to examine our own lives and identify areas where we might still be living as spiritual orphans rather than as confident, secure children of God. The message encourages us to embrace our new identity in Christ and to approach God with the intimacy of a child calling out 'Abba, Father.' It's a call to live in the security, relationship, and inheritance that come with our adoption, transforming how we navigate life's challenges and relate to God.
