God has vouchsafed, that in Christ, His only Son, and for His sake, all those who are justified shall be made partakers of the grace of adoption, by which they are taken into the number of the children of God and enjoy their liberties and privileges. They have His name put upon them, and receive the Spirit of adoption. They have access to the throne of grace with boldness, and are enabled to cry, 'Abba, Father!' They are pitied, protected, provided for, and chastened by Him as by a father, yet they are never cast off, but are sealed to the day of redemption, when they inherit the promises as heirs of everlasting salvation.

Daily Bible Verse

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.
John 1:12.

Daily Thought

Nothing that in any way concerns our peace is too small for Him to notice. There is no chapter in our experience too dark for Him to read; there is no perplexity too difficult for Him to unravel .... No sincere prayer... [can] escape the lips, of which our heavenly Father is unobservant, or in which He takes no immediate interest.
Steps to Christ, p. 100.
