Iin chapters 19 and 20 of Knowing God, Packer highlights the privilege of adoption as God’s children and the assurance of His guidance. Adoption is more than justification—it grants intimacy with God as Father, access to His care, discipline, and inheritance. This identity reshapes our perspective, moving us from insecurity to confidence in His love. Packer also reminds us that God guides not through hidden signs, but through His Word, prayer, providence, and the Spirit. Guidance is less about discovering ‘secret plans’ and more about trusting His revealed will. As God’s children, we walk securely, loved and directed by Him and his word.
