Who does God say we are? He spent no small amount of ink…
““Who does God say we are? He spent no small amount of ink expressing the various facets of sonship (and daughtership). For example: “He chose us in Him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love He predestined us to be adopted through Jesus Christ for Himself, according to His favor and will, to the praise of His glorious grace that He favored us with in the Be-loved” (Eph. 1:4–6). If we knew nothing else but these few truths and accepted them into our belief system, our lives would be altered.””
