Adoption
Though God cannot, and will not, dissolve the relationship which the Spirit of adoption has made between the Father and the sons, for any sin that such do commit: yet he can, and often does, take away from them the comfort of their adoption, not suffering children, while sinning, to have the sweet and comfortable sense thereof on their hearts. [TFOG]

A man adopts one for his son and heir that does not at all resemble him; but whosoever God adopts for His child is like Him; he not only bears His heavenly Father’s name, but His image. (Col 3:10)
