God sent forth his Son

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. (Galatians 4:4-5) *1/ **When** God sent forth his Son - "When the fulness of time was come." 2/ **How** God sent forth his Son - "Made of a woman, made under the law, " 3/ **Why** God sent forth his Son - "To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons."* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon centers on the divine timing, manner, and purpose of Christ's incarnation as revealed in Galatians 4:4–5, emphasizing that God sent His Son at the 'fullness of time'—a moment meticulously ordained by divine decree, not human or temporal whim. It underscores that Christ was made of a woman and born under the law not only to fulfil prophecy and embody true humanity but also to stand in humanity's place, redeeming those who feel under the law's condemnation through His perfect obedience and sacrificial death. The message is deeply pastoral, affirming that the law's role is not to save but to reveal sin and drive the sinner to Christ, where true redemption and adoption as sons are found. This adoption, secured by Christ's work, is not a universal promise but a personal reality for those burdened by guilt and awakened to their need of grace, who now cry out to God as 'Abba, Father' in the Spirit. The sermon concludes with a call to recognize the signs of salvation in one's life and to rest in the certainty of being adopted into God's family through Christ's redemptive mission.
