Galatians Chapter 4

Galatians Chapter 4

Before Christ came, all people were enslaved to sin 0 by His death, He paid the debt and purchased our freedom.

Jesus not only fulfilled the law by keeping it perfectly, but He also paid its curse.

This ultimate sacrifice paved the way for God to adopt us as His very own children – we are qualified to receive spiritual inheritance.

Our good deeds don’t motivate God to love us anymore than He already does – no matter how great they are – but they do fulfill the purpose of God.

Vs. 15 Without spiritual connection – we have no joy. Joy comes within and it produced when we understand that Jesus is the source of our peace and contentment no matter what the circumstances!

If we put our trust in Jesus Christ by faith then we are children of the promise (as opposed to Ishmal)

As Christians we will be mocked and ridiculed if we are being bold witnesses of Christ – but this shouldn’t surprise us, Jesus said it would happen.
