Are Saved People God's Children or Are We Just Adopted?

The Doctrine of Adoption of Sons is lost in many preaching today but this is a very important doctrine that leads to the definition of what the Adoption is.

In the Bible, only the Firstborn Male holds the birthright so he gets the inheritance. God made a way for all of us that are saved today- man, woman, boy, or girl- to become co-heirs with Christ. So Biblical adoption is different from our modern concept of it. We are misled when we come to the Bible and define things with our contemporary or cultural mindset. Rather, we must let the the Bible define and teach us rightly divided doctrine so we can apply it in our lives today.

We also talk about the difference between how the Bible defines the terms child and sons and how they have differences in rights and responsibilities.
