ADOPTED: The Preciousness of the Family of God
Everyone wants to know they belong somewhere. Scripture says God chose to make you His own child, and this study shows what that adoption means for who you are and how you live.
ADOPTED: The Preciousness of the Family of God is a Bible study workbook by Matthew Allen in the Growth Tracks series. Drawing on his own story of being adopted, Allen explores what the Bible teaches about spiritual adoption and the blessings of belonging to God's family.
How This Study Helps
Plenty of Christians know the doctrine of adoption on paper and still struggle to believe God really wants them. Old guilt, a hard family history, or simple loneliness can make it hard to feel like a son or daughter. The New Testament speaks straight to that. Paul's teaching in Romans and Ephesians describes a Father who chose us, gave us His name, and made us heirs.
Matthew Allen brings that teaching close by telling how his own adoption shaped his understanding of love and family. He also looks at adoption stories in Scripture, including Moses, Esther, and Mephibosheth, and draws out what they show about God's grace. Practical application in each lesson helps you live like the child of God you are, with the identity, security, and love that come with it.
