And so it is with God, the King. Adoption by the King is such a radical notion that we resist it—we would rather have the occasional brush of Gods presence, or a relic of his solidarity with us, so that God can be an appendage of our identity. But God wants more than that. God wants our lives. God wants us to bear his name. By bringing us into the new reality of the Spirit, we can call out to God, Abba, Father, as adopted children united to Christ. Yet there are few things more countercultural than this process of adoption, of losing your life for the sake of Jesus Christ only to find it in communion with the Triune God.
