He has called you by YOUR name! Trust Him!
Drawing on the tender story of his adopted brother Neil, Philip Cameron reflects on how his father always used the full name "Neil Cameron" to reinforce belonging. He connects this to God's promise to redeem and call each of us by name as adopted children in His family.
Transcript
The Bible says I've redeemed you and called you by your name. I have an adopted brother Neil back in Scotland, pastors of a tremendous church called Apex in Peterhead, Scotland. We adopted him, he's black, when he was 10 months old. I never ever heard my dad speak to him and just call him Neil. Every time he said, now Neil Cameron, Neil Cameron. Because what he was doing was he was enforcing and reinforcing into this little heart that had been left in the world cruelly by himself. He was telling him, you're not just Neil, you're a Cameron. You belong to our family. And I'm going to tell you something, God has redeemed you and called you by your name. And you've been adopted in the family of God. And when you realize that, it can't help but change your life.
