Adoption 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. Thomas Watson Adoption follows justification – not in time, necessarily, but certainly in the logical order of things. G.I. Williamson Every heir of God shall receive as much as if there were but one heir; and yet they shall all be glorified, and shall receive as much as it is possible for them to receive. Unknown
