Episode notes
Adoption Is Present And Transformative
- Adoption into God's family is central to the gospel and changes our present identity, not just our eternal destiny.
- Being God's child means receiving the Spirit and the status of heir through God.
Enlightenment Shaped Modern Theology
- Enlightenment thought tried to remove supernaturalism from Christianity and recast religion as naturalistic reason.
- This shift birthed liberal theology that denied miracles and core Christian doctrines.
Fatherhood Is Particular, Not Universal
- The Bible does not teach universal fatherhood of God or brotherhood of man as salvific realities.
- Fatherhood and brotherhood are particular to those adopted into God's family through faith.
