Sonship
Apr 14, 2013 • Pastor Joel Workman • Romans 8:14-17
At the core of Christian theology is the doctrine of adoption. We are, by the work of Christ on the cross testified to by the Holy Spirit, made sons and daughters of God. We are made close and familiar with God. We are made heirs in the same way that Christ is heir. God is not distant and we are not strangers. We are brought into the eternal relationship enjoyed by the Trinity: a relationship of glory and suffering.
