Westminster Confession of Faith

Chapter 12: Of Adoption

1
All those that are justified God vouchsafeth, in and for his only Son Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the grace of adoption;
1
by which they are taken into the number, and enjoy the liberties and privileges of the children of God;
2
have his name put upon them;
3
receive the Spirit of adoption;
4
have access to the throne of grace with boldness;
5
are enabled to cry, Abba, Father;
6
are pitied,
7
protected,
8
provided for,
9
and chastened by him as by a father;
10
yet never cast off,
11
but sealed to the day of redemption,
12
and inherit the promises,
13
as heirs of everlasting salvation.
