I’m adopted and Shabbat shalom! 💛

What is adoption? The Hebrew word for adoption is "immutz" and the root word is "amatz" what means "to make strong". HalleluYah! Adoptions strengthens the child, the family, the community. In Greek the word for "adoption” is huiothesia, it means "the placing or setting as a son," Adoption transfer ALL rights and responsibilities. The Bible tells us that adoption is something that is very near to our Father’s heart. The Old and the New Testament speak very clearly about adoption. Deuteronomy 10;18 “He executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and shows His love for the stranger by giving him food and clothing. Psalm 68;5-6 “A father of the fatherless and a judge [f]for the widows, Is God in His holy dwelling God makes a home for the lonely; Isaiah 1;17 “Learn to do good; seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor, obtain justice for the orphan, plead the widow’s case.” James 1;27 “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world”

Ephesians 1;4-6 “just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before [d]Him. In love 5 [e]He predestined us to adoption as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He favored us in the Beloved”
Because of Yeshua I am adopted into the beautiful family of God. Let God receive all the praise and honor for this beautiful act of adopting me.
Do we walk as HIS children?
Do we believe that we are HIS children?
Is it in our hearts or just in our heads?
It must, it has to be in our hearts – knowledge is not enough.
