The Power of Adoption: A Countercultural Choice
In a world where abortion is often seen as the only option, adoption stands as a beacon of hope. By choosing to adopt, Christians can take a stand for children, born and unborn, and reflect the love of God, who has adopted us into His family through Jesus Christ.
A Biblical Example
Joseph of Nazareth, the adoptive father of Jesus, is a powerful example of this love. His selfless act of adopting Jesus as his own son demonstrates the kind of extravagant love that God has for us. In his book, Adoption: What Joseph of Nazareth Can Teach Us about This Countercultural Choice, Russell Moore calls Christians to follow Joseph’s example and consider adoption for their own families.
A Much-Needed Resource
To help Christians make the case for adoption, we are excited to offer a free digital edition of Moore’s book. This important resource is perfect for churches and Christian ministries looking to minister to families in their communities through the power of the gospel. Although the e-book giveaway has ended, we encourage you to explore other resources on adoption, such as Moore’s longer book, Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families.
Equipping Christians to Engage the Culture
As Christians, we are called to engage the culture around us with the truth of the gospel. Adoption is a key part of this mission, as it reflects the love and compassion of God. By equipping ourselves with resources like Moore’s book and Scott Klusendorf’s The Case for Life: Equipping Christians to Engage the Culture, we can confidently make the case for adoption and stand up for the most vulnerable members of our society.
Sharing the Love of God
As we consider adoption, let us remember the love of God, who has adopted us into His family through Jesus Christ. May this love motivate us to share the gospel with others and to care for the orphans and vulnerable children in our communities. By doing so, we can demonstrate the power of adoption and show the world what it means to be loved by God.
