Adoption 101 — God’s Heart and Our Call (PDF Class Notes Outline)

The gospel calls us to missional love.  As we love God, we will love others.  We should have a heart for adoption, whether we adopt or support those who do.

“Adoption is, on the one hand, gospel.  In this, adoption tells us who we are as children of the Father.  Adoption as gospel tells us about our identity, our inheritance, and our mission as sons of God… Jesus reconciles us to God and to each other.

As we love our God, we love our neighbor; as we love our neighbor we love our God.  We believe Jesus in heavenly things – our adoption in Christ; so we follow him in earthly things – the adoption of children.  Without the theological aspect, the emphasis on
adoption too easily is seen as mere charity.  Without the missional aspect, the doctrine of adoption is too easily seen as a mere metaphor.”
- Russ Moore, Adopted for Life
