Adopted by the Father. The path to becoming an adult

Adopted by the Father wants to shed light on the journey that allows a person to be truly free: free from their past, free to be themselves in their true identity, free to enter into their destiny. In short, becoming an adult. Jesus said again: I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6). The path to becoming an adult is to come to the Father, to experience not only reconciliation, but also to receive adoption, to truly experience this belonging to the Father through which our solitude, our distress and our difficulty in living can be replaced by the fullness of life. Ye have not received a spirit of bondage, that ye should still fear, but ye have received a Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba! Father! (Romans 8:15)
