6 Positives From The Book Of Galatians, 4

 ~ No Longer A Slave To Sin – Now An Heir Of God ~

 

Series Introduction  ~  There are six chapters in the Paul’s letter to the church at Galatia.  In this series we look at one of the positive statements directed to believers from each of the chapters. 

 

Scripture  ~  “But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

 

“And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, ‘Abba, Father!’  Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ” (Galatians 4:4-7).

 

Comment  ~  The reality of our world is that many did not have good loving Fathers which makes it difficult to relate to the term “Heavenly Father.”  Satan will use that in your thinking – resolve not to allow him to!

 

Think of the richest man on earth and what it would be like to be a part of his family.  Then realize that God is immensely richer and He is your Father.  He owns all of creation by the nature of being the Creator.
