About this episode

In this episode, Hunter and Autumn discuss chapters 18–20 of J. I. Packer's 'Knowing God', focusing on the heart of the gospel and the privilege of adoption into God's family.

In our sixth Spring Book Club episode, Hunter and Autumn cover chapters 18–20 of Knowing God by J. I. Packer. In these chapters, Packer writes of the heart of the gospel and what it means to belong to God. Christ’s substitutionary work satisfies God’s justice and permits all who accept his atoning sacrifice to be adopted as sons and daughters. Packer calls adoption the highest privilege the gospel offers—bringing warmth, security, and intimacy to the Christian life.
