Q.74. What is adoption?

A. Adoption is an act of God’s free grace[1] in and for his only son, Jesus Christ,[2] by which all those who are justified become his children,[3] have his name put on them,[4] have the Spirit of his Son given to them,[5] are provided for under his fatherly care,[6] are welcomed to all the liberties and privileges of the sons of God, and are made heirs of all the promises and fellow-heirs with Christ in glory.[7]
