Did you know that every believer, as an adopted son of God, has one but two great intercessors in prayer to our Heavenly Father? That great privilege is our focus today, as we continue our study of the great doctrine of our adoption as sons.
Clearly, the Holy Spirit had been at work before the Day of Pentecost in Acts chapter two. What, then, was the nature of the Spirit's coming at the beginning of the New Testament church, and what are the implications of it?
The Bible tells us that if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, God the Father has given you adoption as His son for eternity. Dear friend, are you living life in this present world in the light of that great truth? Today, too few Christians understand the great privileges we have as the adopted sons of God. Those great privileges will be our focus today, as we continue our study of the marvelous doctrine of God's adoption of every believer in Christ as His son.
Did you know that if you are trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for your salvation, that God has given you the gift of adoption as a son? This is a precious teaching in the Word of God, but today it is very little taught in our churches, and very little understood by the people of God.

The Biblical language is very specific: All believers, men and women, boys and girls, are adopted as sons of God. Why is that important for us to understand? What great privileges are ours because this is true? Stay tuned for the answers, as we continue our study in Colossians chapter three and other passages in Paul's epistles to the churches.
How was the New Covenant instituted and ratified? What does Scripture mean when it says that Christians are not under law, but under grace? How does the New Covenant disprove a doctrine of antinomianism (the false teaching that because salvation is all of grace, God's law has no place in the believer's life)?
To remember the message of the book of Colossians, you only need to remember three words...
People in many churches are settling for cheap substitutes for Jesus Christ, God's Word, and the one true Gospel. God's people must accept no substitutes.
What are the five enemies of man? What is the substitutionary work of Christ? How was the Devil defeated at Calvary? What change took place in the heavenly tabernacle?
