“We might therefore summarize the grace of the gospel by saying that it involves adoption into the family of God, with the corresponding process of ridding us of the influences of our former family and more and more remaking us to conform to the Incarnate Son” (“The Reformed Doctrine of Sonship” in Pulpit and People, 86).
