Galatians 4:1-7 No Longer A Slave But A Son

In Galatians 4:1-7, Paul illustrates how Christ’s redeeming work brings us out from under the law. He contrasts the status and role of a child in ancient Roman law to that of an heir coming of age. Christ has made us heirs. Because of the Spirit Jesus places within His people, our hearts love and long to please the Father, eliminating a reliance on a moral code. What a deep love and trust we can have in such communion with God through His Spirit! We now follow the heart of our Father instead of a mere list of rules. Let’s listen in.
