Galatians 4


Galatians 4

   1 Now what I mean is that as long as the inheritor (heir) is a child and under age, he does not differ from a slave, although he is the master of all the estate;

   2 But he is under guardians and administrators or trustees until the date fixed by his father.

   3 So we [Jewish Christians] also, when we were minors, were kept like slaves under [the rules of the Hebrew ritual and subject to] the elementary teachings of a system of external observations and regulations.

   4 But when the proper time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born subject to [the regulations of] the Law,

   5 To purchase the freedom of (to ransom, to redeem, to [a]atone for) those who were subject to the Law, that we might be adopted and have sonship conferred upon us [and be recognized as God’s sons].

   6 And because you [really] are [His] sons, God has sent the [[b]Holy] Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba (Father)! Father!

   7 Therefore, you are no longer a slave (bond servant) but a son; and if a son, then [it follows that you are] an heir [c]by the aid of God, through Christ.


***We are no longer sinners bond by sin, but redeemed to be his Sons and Daughters.
We can walk in liberty and freedom because Christ paid the price of all our sins.
Now that we are adopted unto Christ, we have full access to our inheritance.  We can walk confidently because God is our Heavenly Father and he owns it all.  We can walk under submission to our Pastors and leaders and grow into all God has for us. All will be released as we grow in Christ.
