The Adoption: Appointed and Confirmed By Covenant Promise

[Mr. M]

Romans Nine:

3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ

for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh, 

4 who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, 

the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises; 

5 of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh,

Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.

Here is a fun and informative word!

Adoption-[G5206 huiothesia] formed from

huios = sons of (men, Adam, the flesh), and

tithemi= to be placed, set, appointed, ordained for service.

John Fifteen:

16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you (KJV-ordained you) that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

This is clearly stating that bearing fruit by enquiring of the Lord is "the appointment" of a Saint. No, not like going to see the doctor, but a commission, such as a military officer. To leave the military, an officer must resign his commission, unlike an enlisted person, who has a set time to complete.

The Adoption, by designating an appointment, is establishing the specifics of our Redemption, by a stated purpose.

Romans Eight:

15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear,

but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, 

“Abba, Father.” 

16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that

we are children of God, 

17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, 

if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, 

even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for

the adoption, the redemption of our body. 

 

Galatians Four:

4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth

His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 

5 to redeem those who were under the law, that

we might receive the adoption as sons.

6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth 

the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 

7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son,

then an heir of God through Christ.

 

Ephesians One:

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world,

that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

5 Having predestined us unto the adoption of children

by Jesus Christ to himself,

according to the good pleasure of his will,

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein

he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

7 In whom we have redemption through his blood,

the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will,

according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
