Gospel in Life
with Tim Keller
Adoption (Part 2)
Monday, July 13, 2026
The highest thing that Christianity offers to us is to be adopted as God’s sons. It’s little surprise, then, that our identity as his children can radically transform how we live each and every day.
When we look at the great privileges and characteristics of people who know they’re children of God, what do we see?
Let’s walk through five marks of sonship: 1) a fearlessness about our security, 2) access to the Father through prayer, 3) acknowledging our wealthiness in our inheritance and future glory, 4) handling suffering and discipline with grace, and 5) having complete assurance of his love.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on June 28, 1992. Series: Salvation From the Outside In. Scripture: Ephesians 1:4-8.
