Read Romans 8:14-15 (https://bit.ly/2RQgyfF)

In ancient Roman culture, the upper class often adopted children. These adoptions carried significance we rarely think about in modern times. The adopted child was deliberately chosen by the adoptive father to continue the family name and inherit his estate. Adopted children carried the same status as a natural born child and were in no way inferior. Adoption changed the life of that child forever. All debts from the original family were wiped out and nothing from the child’s past could be counted against him. Remember that our Father God has adopted you. You have been welcomed into the family of God with all its rights and privileges. You don’t have to live in fear. Your loving Father has swept you into His armand you bring Him delight. Let Him carry you through every challenge in life.
