The incarnation of Christ was so that He would become our Kinsman Redeemer. As our Kinsman Redeemer, our Lord came to redeem us that we "might receive the adoptions of sons". Adoption is not justification, nor is it sanctification, so what benefit is it? How does this doctrine, this blessing play in our salvation? Ever wondered what is meant by the "witness of the Spirit"? That is part of this great blessing of adoption. Preaching Pastor Tom Newton, Calvary Baptist Church, Cornwall, Ont. Evening service 12/21/2014.
