Matthew Weyers

Imagine your child waking up one morning believing you aren't really their parent.

What kind of identity confusion would that create in them?

That's been happening to God's children for generations. We've been told we used to belong to the devil. That we were on the opposite team. That God only tolerates us now because of Jesus.

And then we wonder why we feel insecure. Why we feel like we don't measure up. Why we always feel like we have to earn his attention.

You were never on the opposite team. You were Dad's child before your parents ever held you. And you will always be his child no matter what happens.

That's the most stable identity you will ever have.

The cross was not God adopting you.

The cross was Dad proving that nothing could ever separate you from him.

The Bible says we became enemies of God in our own minds. Not actually. In our minds. We thought we were on the outside. We thought we were on the wrong team. 
We thought we were the problem he had to deal with.

And Dad came in Christ to show us we were never out in the first place. It wasn't a transaction to make him love you. It was a rescue mission to free you from the lie that you were ever an orphan.

You weren't adopted. You were always his.

You can say the word "God" and feel a sense of distance.

You cannot say "Dad" and feel a sense of distance.

That's why he wants you to call him Dad. Not Lord. Not Master. Not some distant deity in the sky. Dad.

The moment that word leaves your mouth, something shifts. The veil starts to lift. The orphan heart starts to break. And you finally start to feel what's been true your whole life.

He's your actual Father. He's not pretending. He's not doing Jesus a favor by tolerating you. You belong to him.

Start praying like His child. Call Him Dad.

You weren't adopted by God.

You've heard that lie your whole life. That you were a child of the devil. That you prayed a prayer. That now God tolerates you because of Jesus.

That's not good news. That's a lifetime of feeling like you don't really belong.

A child born into a family never wonders if they really belong. A child who's adopted, no matter how loving the parents, will always wonder somewhere deep down who their real mom and dad are.

Most Christians live exactly like that. Always wondering. Always trying to earn a seat at the table they secretly think isn't theirs.

And here's what most people don't know. The word translated as "adoption" in our English Bibles is actually the Greek word huiothesia, which means the placement of sons. It's about a child coming of age. It's about maturity. It's recognition that you're ready to represent the family. It was never about an outsider being brought into a family they didn't belong to.

You weren't adopted. You were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. 
You're not on the team now. You were always on it.

Religion spectates the Trinity from afar off.

The Gospel says that you are part of the Trinity.

Ephesians 1:4
“…in Him before the foundation of the world…”

John 14:20
“I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.”

2 Peter 1:4
“…partakers of the divine nature…”

Acts 17:28
“In Him we live and move and have our being”

1 Corinthians 6:17
“He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.”

1 John 4:17
“As He is, so are we in this world.”

A Gospel that does not preach your complete, seamless, eternal, unbroken, perfect, never-ending, complete UNION with Christ is no Gospel at all.

Matthew Weyers

Colossians 1:21 contains one of the most devastating yet liberating truths in Scripture: "And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind”.

The phrase "enemies in your mind" reveals that the battlefield has always been between your ears. The war was never between you and God but between truth and the lies you believed about God. This is why Paul emphasizes the renewal of the mind as essential to transformation. You can't experience a God you believe hates you. You can't receive from hands you think are clenched in fists. You can't run to arms you believe hold weapons.

This mental enmity is the root of all religion. Every sacrificial system, every moral code, every spiritual discipline designed to appease deity stems from the fundamental delusion that God is against us. We became theological orphans not because we were abandoned but because we believed we were. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil didn't transform God into our enemy; it transformed our perception, making us see threat where only love existed.

The Gospel is not the story of a distant deity finding a way to tolerate us again. It’s the story of a Dad who never left, stepping into our darkness to restore the truth of who He is and who we’ve always been.
