Adoption Survival
The Miracle of Adoption
..He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will. Ephesians 1:5
...for in you the fatherless find compassion. Hosea 14:3
Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Psalm 82:3
I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. John 14:18
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27
