Galatians 4. Day 61 - The New Testament in an Year

Spiritual Adoption. Freedom from the Law.  Living as Children of Promise.

 "So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then God has made you an heir." Galatians 4:7

In this episode of "The New Testament in a Year," we explore Galatians Chapter 4, a rich and profound passage where Paul delves into the themes of spiritual adoption, freedom from the law, and living as children of promise. Through his heartfelt and instructive letter to the Galatians, Paul warns against returning to the bondage of the law and passionately encourages embracing the liberty found in faith in Christ.

Listeners are guided through the intricate concepts of how we, once slaves to basic principles, are now considered sons and daughters of God, fully adopted into His family. This monumental shift from slave to heir is vividly illustrated through the allegory of Sarah and Hagar, highlighting the difference between being bound by the law and being free through the promise of faith.

This episode is not just a study but a journey into understanding our place in God's story, challenging us to live out our faith in the light of our newfound freedom and identity as God's children.
