The Nature Of Divine Sonship

"All those that are justified, God vouchsafed, in and for his only Son Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the grace of adoption: by which they are taken into the number, and enjoy the liberties and privileges of the children of God; have his name put upon them, receive the Spirit of adoption; have access to the throne of grace with boldness; are enabled to cry, Abba Father; are pitied, protected, provided for, and chastened by Him as by a Father; yet never cast off, but sealed to the day of redemption, and inherit the promises, as heirs of everlasting salvation. This is the nature of the divine sonship that is bestowed on believers." J.I. Packer, Knowing God, pg 206.

If you can understand this and believe it, reject any teaching that disagrees with this you will go a long way towards you living a stable joyful christian life. This is the problem in the church today so many christians do not know these truths and are not taught these truths. Go out and buy Packers book Knowing God its life changing.
