Jeff is leading a summer camp this week and was talking about the fact that we are adopting a little girl. He made the point that adoption is forever and Joylee Aiyu will be a permanent part of our family. In the same way, we are adopted into God's family when we accept what Jesus did for us.
Joylee cannot say "yes" to our family but the officials in China have to do that for her. We, however, have the option of saying "yes" or "no" to Jesus.
Our adoption may be expensive but, to get into God's family, it's priceless.We can never "pay" enough with our good deeds to get into God's presence in heaven. It required the payment of the life of a sinless and perfect sacrifice which we can never be. Jesus was the only one able to make that payment and offer us a "paid in full" stamp on our account.
Have you been adopted into God's family? Do you know for sure that Jesus has paid YOUR account? I would love to know that, no matter what this life holds, that I will get to see you forever in eternity.
E-mail me if you have any questions, want to argue or discuss any of these points (hoosierbabybmw@gmail.com).
I care about you but God cares most!
