About this episode

This sermon discusses the implications of being adopted as Children of God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, focusing on hope and righteousness in anticipation of Christ's return.

When a person is redeemed by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the believer is adopted into the family as Children of God. This week's sermon covers the last few verses of First John chapter 2 and the first few verses of chapter 3. In this passage we learn that (1) Children of God look forward to Christ's return, (2) disobedient children & frauds do not look forward to Christ's return, (3) true righteousness is only available through redemption/adoption in Christ's family, (4) the world cannot truly know or understand God or His Children, (5) our futures are not known in detail, but as Children of God, we look to the future with hope, & (6) true Children of God are loyal but not flawless.
