Discussion of 1689 ch18 Of Assurance of Grace and Salvation Part 1. Sec 18.1 & 18.2

On this podcast, we discuss that it is a wonderful thing to be a Christian!

Jesus' first personal appearance after His resurrection was to Mary Magdalene--a heart-warming 'reunion' that instructs us on love and relationships that are made new as a result of Jesus' resurrection. Jesus tells Mary not to cling to Him so that she may look forward to a new relationship with Him, His Father, and His brethren. The wonderful but much overlooked doctrine of Adoption is one of the great benefits that is possible from Jesus' resurrection. "Mary!": First Appearance and Change of Relationships (Jn 20:11-18) I.

All three Persons of the Godhead minister believers' adoption to them in divine love and power.

How does the Holy Spirit minister our adoption to us? Romans 8:16–17 looks forward to the midweek sermon. In these two verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that the Holy Spirit agrees with us as we cry Abba, convincing us of our status as God's heirs and of our union with Christ by which we came into that status.
