SPIRITUAL
CONNECTIONS
|
THE LONLINESS OF BEING AN ORPHAN WITHOUT A HOME.
Fourteen-year-old Calvin Cambridge spends his days at the orphanage
waiting to be adopted and shooting hoops |
|
Loneliness
and the feeling of being uncared for and unwanted are the greatest
poverty.
--MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA
Loneliness
eats into the soul.
--JEWISH PROVERB
Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to
live for, great enough to die for.
--DAG HAMMARSKJÖLD (1905–1961)
The
deepest need of man is the need to overcome his separateness, to
leave the prison of his aloneness.
--ERICH FROMM (1900–1980)

BIBLICAL
CONNECTIONS

 ADOPTION
The giving to any one the name and place and privileges of a son
or daughter who is not a son or daughter by birth.
(1.) Natural.
Thus Pharaoh’s daughter adopted Moses (Ex. 2:10), and Mordecai
Esther (Esther 2:7).
(2.) National.
God adopted Israel (Ex. 4:22; Deut. 7:6; Hos. 11:1; Rom. 9:4).
(3.) Spiritual.
An act of God’s grace by which he brings menand women into
the number of his redeemed family, and makes them partakers of
all the blessings he has provided for them. Adoption represents
the new relations into which the believer is introduced by justification,
and the privileges connected therewith, viz., an interest in:
-
God’s
peculiar love (John 17:23; Rom. 5:5-8),
-
a
spiritual nature (2 Pet. 1:4; John 1:13),
-
the
possession of a spirit becoming children of God (1 Pet. 1:14;
2 John 4; Rom. 8:15-21; Gal. 5:1; Heb. 2:15),
-
present
protection, consolation, supplies (Luke 12:27-32; John 14:18;
1 Cor. 3:21-23; 2 Cor. 1:4),
-
fatherly
chastisements (Heb. 12:5-11),
and a future glorious inheritance (Rom. 8:17, 23; James 2:5;
Phil. 3:21).
From
Easton's Bible Dictionary.
