Why We Are Born Orphans (And How God Adopts Us)

Aug 23, 2026    Dr. Rob Pacienza

In this episode of Christ Meets Culture, Pastor Rob unpacks Romans 8 and the Westminster Confession of Faith to explain the profound doctrine of spiritual adoption. He reveals that by nature, we are spiritual orphans separated from God due to our sin. However, through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we are graciously adopted as sons and daughters who can intimately call God "Abba, Father" and are guaranteed to never be cast off.
