Scriptural evidence suppo... such as God as our Father; we are the children of God; we are His offspring and we are joint heirs with Christ. See: Galatians 4:5, Romans 8:15-17, Acts 17:28. By such usage of terms, there is given an impression that we are gods through association with God. Adoption clarifies these terms by demonstrating that we become the children of God through an adoption process. This process consists of two elements: A.) Ephesians 1:5-8. The shedding of blood by God’s only Son. B.) Acts 26:20. Through faith and the repentance of sin. Through these actions comes personal salvationSalvation within the Scriptures (Bible) simply means to save that which was lost.

As Jesus says, "I and the Father are one." (John 10:30; NASB)) and us. See: Acts 26:18.

Romans 8:15-17: “For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father! The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him.” (NASBNASB stands for "New American Standard" version of the Bible.

Romans 8:22-25: “For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemptionThe term is used in theology to explain the results of the death of Jesus Christ.
