Adam and Eve’s choice to sin separated humanity from the Father’s family because we chose to become children of a different father, the devil (John 8:44). Though we were cast out by His righteous judgment from the Garden of Eden we were not forgotten. Jesus came into the world to pay the price of adoption…

You are not an accident. You were created by God for the purpose of being like Jesus. Though God is sovereign and all-knowing, you get to freely choose to accept or reject His calling for your life. For those who choose to respond in faith to the Father’s call, you are chosen to be like…
