Galatians chapter 4 verses 4 through 7

but when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his son, born of woman, born under the law,

to redeem those who are under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

And because you are a son's God has sent the spirit of his son into our hearts crying

Abba, father, so you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son

did an heir through God. Let the riches of those verses soak into your heart today right now to realize

that not only are we redeemed from the curse of the law and sin and death, which that's

glorious enough in and of itself, but not only are we redeemed but we're adopted.

We have received adoption as sons before God.

God, the sovereign king of all the universe, the creator of all the world, the ruler of the nations.

He is our father.

We are his sons and daughters. We're not a slave before God. I think about so many religions in the world where, where we have the posture of slaves before a god or gods.

We've got to do this or that in order to earn the favor of God.

That is not what Galatians for is saying.

The one true God has made a way for us to be saved from our sins, not based on what we can do for him,

but based solely on what he has done for us in his mercy, and when we trust in him,

we don't become his slaves in that sense, we become his sons and his daughters.

We become his children. Our hearts cry out to God of a father.

When we pray, we pray our father in heaven.

Let it soak in today.

You are a child of God.
