• Justification—Romans 3:24; Deuteronomy 25:1. B. When we face anything that life throws at us, we do so as members of God’s eternal family through spiritual birth and adoption. • We’re members of God’s family—Ephesians 2:19. • We’re members through spiritual birth—1 Peter 1:23.

• We’re members through adoption—Galatians 4:5b. • Membership in God’s family includes a new home and base of operations— John 14:2; Philippians 3:20. C. We can face anything in life with the backing of our great High Priest Who dispenses relief and resources as we need them (Hebrews 4:14–16).
