We are adopted when we choose christ as are savior. Up until that point we are of perishable seed. With any adoption there is a choice to be made,in this case the choice is ours.So therefore we are born twice. Jn.3:3In reply Jesus declared,"I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. 4"How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mothers womb to be born! 5Jesus answered no one can enter the kingdom of god unless he is born of water and the Spirit. ADOPT-to accept formally and put into effect /to take(a child of other parents) as one's own child (Merriam-Webster Dictionary) When we are adopted christ is acknowledging our choice to enter into his family. And start our new life in Christ. May the Lord bless you! |
