The relationship between God and his people is understood in various ways by the biblical writers, and it is arguably the apostle Paul who uses the richest vocabulary.Unique to Paul's writings is the term huiothesia, the process or act of being adopted as son(s). It occurs five times in three of his letters, where it functions as a key theological metaphor.Trevor Burke argues that huiothesia has been misunderstood, misrepresented or neglected through scholarly preoccupation with its cultural background. He redresses the balance in this comprehensive study, which discusses metaphor theory; explores the background to huiothesia; considers the roles of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; examines the moral implications of adoption, and its relationship with honor; and concludes with the consequences for Christian believers as they live in the tension between the now and the not yet of their adoption into God's new family.

Adoption God's Way is a children's book unlike any other as it lays out God's love for mankind and how He wants us to love Him and love each other by following His truth. This book shares the power found in adoption; one is the earthly adoption of children into families, and the other is heavenly adoption into God's family found only in salvation in Jesus. Every page of this book can be experienced, felt, and understood by the drawings, the message, and the Bible verses on each page. All three join together to tell the life-changing, soul-saving Gospel of Jesus Christ no matter how young or how old the reader. A toddler can understand the pictures, a teen babysitter can grasp the story, and an adult can take hold of the scripture verses that reference each page. This book is meant to share God's love for every single person whom He created in His image on the earth and to explain the fallen state of our world today. The gospel is the redemption option that God offers to any person who wants to receive it. Each page of this book is meant to spark deep, life-impacting conversations. It was created for those who read it to mediate on it because it's important to your eternity. Going to bed thinking about the things of God is what we all should be doing nightly. I hope this becomes a bedtime book that families will pass on to future generations. Jesus Christ paid for the sins of the world on a cross and His story, the story of the world, found in the Holy Bible should be read by all and talked about by all, continually. This book isn't about religion but about entering into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He is the only way to reach God. There are millions of children's books that fill time and are fun, but this isn't that book. This book is intentional and introspective. The pages explain the importance of adoption both in heaven and on earth because we all are up for adoption since birth. There are two fathers battling for our soul: God the Father and the father of darkness. We are born separated from God in this world, but we each have the opportunity to be adopted into God's heavenly kingdom. Our choices here matter. The posture of our heart matters. We can't earn our way to heaven because we have fallen short of God's perfect standard with our sin. But His Son, Jesus, offered to pay the penalty of our sin for anyone who would receive Him as Lord and Savior. His sinless life is good enough for heaven, and His sacrifice is enough to cover your sins if you receive Him. Salvation changes everything about you from the inside out. It's not a tradition or a checklist. It's a personal relationship with God made through Christ that gives you the ability to turn away from a life of sin and more into a life of sanctification. Adoption God's Way makes you more like Jesus and less like you. It's a choice that lasts forever. This book can't save souls, but Whom this book is about can. This book is meant to lead you to the right Father, to be adopted by Him so you and those you care about can know God's love and freely love Him back both now and forever. Love is an action, not a feeling. Love gave Himself up for us so we could choose to be adopted into His family. The most beautiful gift God ever gave to His human creation was free will. We can freely choose to love Him or not. He's a good Father. He won't force you to love Him back.

Unique to Paul's writings is the term huiothesia, the process or act of being "adopted as son(s)." It occurs five times in three of his letters, where it functions as a key theological metaphor.

Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.

In this theology of adoption, Stevenson-Moessner argues that while the church has long understood the grounding self-concept of a Christian as a "child of God, " it has failed to underscore that all people come into the family of faith by adoption.

Central to God’s character is the quality of holiness. Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God’s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don’t quite know what to do with words like “awe” or “fear.” R. C. Sproul, in this classic work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christian to become holy just as God is holy. Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.

Explore this stunning quality of God’s grace: It never ends! In this revision of a foundational work, John Piper reveals how grace is not only God’s undeserved gift to us in the past, but also God’s power to make good happen for us today, tomorrow, and forever. True life for the follower of Jesus really is a moment-by-moment trust that God is dependable and fulfills his promises. This is living by faith in future grace, which provides God's mercy, provision, and wisdom—everything we need—to accomplish his good plans for us. In Future Grace, chapter by chapter—one for each day of the month—Piper reveals how cherishing the promises of God helps break the power of persistent sin issues like anxiety, despondency, greed, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more. Ultimate joy, peace, and hope in life and death are found in a confident, continual awareness of the reality of future grace.

Explores the role played by missionaries in the twentieth-century transnational adoption movement Between 1953 and 2018, approximately 170,000 Korean children were adopted by families in dozens of different countries, with Americans providing homes to more than two-thirds of them. In an iconic photo taken in 1955, Harry and Bertha Holt can be seen descending from a Pan American World Airways airplane with twelve Asian babies—eight for their family and four for other families. As adoptive parents and evangelical Christians who identified themselves as missionaries, the Holts unwittingly became both the metaphorical and literal parental figures in the growing movement to adopt transnationally. Missionaries pioneered the transnational adoption movement in America. Though their role is known, there has not yet been a full historical look at their theological motivations—which varied depending on whether they were evangelically or ecumenically focused—and what the effects were for American society, relations with Asia, and thinking about race more broadly. Adopting for God shows that, somewhat surprisingly, both evangelical and ecumenical Christians challenged Americans to redefine traditional familial values and rethink race matters. By questioning the perspective that equates missionary humanitarianism with unmitigated cultural imperialism, this book offers a more nuanced picture of the rise of an important twentieth-century movement: the evangelization of adoption and the awakening of a new type of Christian mission.
