"But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son... to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship." - Galatians 4:4-5
J.I Packer explains: "In adoption, God takes us into his family and fellowship -- he establishes us as his children and heirs. Closeness, affection and generosity are at the heart of the relationship. To be right with God the Judge is a great thing, but to be loved and cared for by God the Father is a greater." [Knowing God]
Therefore we celebrate Jesus coming to both redeem and adopt...us.
