Adoption & Union with Christ: Foundations - An Overview of Systematic Theology with R.C. Sproul

Summary

The sermon emphasizes a sense of "apostolic astonishment" regarding our status as children of God, referencing John's epistles. This astonishment, contrasted with modern secular influences and 19th-century liberal theology's comparative religion studies that sought common ground, highlights the unique and profound nature of our divine adoption. The practical takeaway is to re-embrace the awe and wonder of being God's children, recognizing it as a core truth distinct from a mere universal brotherhood.
