The Deep Things of God: How the Trinity Changes Everything
(Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2010), 162
The mightiest of God’s mighty acts
Adoption is the mightiest of God’s mighty acts of salvation, and without transgressing the line between the divine and the created, God does reach across it and establish a relationship more intimate than we could have imagined.
In adopting children, God does something that enacts, for us and our salvation, his eternal being as Father, Son, and Spirit among us. Eternal sonship becomes incarnate sonship and brings created sonship into being.
