Galatians 4:1-3
1 What I am saying is that as long as heirs are underage they are no different from slaves, although they own the whole estate. 2 They are subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by their fathers. 3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world.
GOD’S ACT OF GRACE MEANS YOU CAN BE FREE OF THE CURSE.
Galatians 4:4-6
4 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. 6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts…
GOD’S ACT OF GRACE MEANS YOU CAN BE LED BY GOD’S SPIRIT.
Galatians 4:6
Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father."
Mark 14:36
“Abba, Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
Matthew 6:9
“This, then, is how you should pray: “ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name…”
Luke 23:33-34
33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”
GOD’S ACT OF GRACE MEANS YOU CAN BE INTIMATE WITH GOD.
Galatians 4:7
So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.
