[BBAS 64]

God adopts his children according to His good pleasure the result of that action makes us His children ( as opposed to the children of the devil JN8).

By definition the adopted ones are called Christians to reflect the the result of Gods action in adopting them as His own.

who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

In Him,
