Throughout Advent & Christman @c3franklintn is looking deeply into Galatians 4:4-7 and discovering -
When God acted - at the perfect time
What God did - He sent his Son
How God did this - Born of woman/born under the Law
Why God did this - to redeem us from slavery & adopt us
When God acted - at the perfect time
What God did - He sent his Son

What God's act means now - we are his adopted family, liberated from the most terrible chains, and made heirs of the greatest treasure. We have the Spirit living within us and bringing us into personal & eternal communion with God. He who was a stranger is now 'Abba'
Here is the text -
"But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons...
"But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons...
And because you are sons, 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, then an heir through God."
I hope you can join us in prayerfully reading & meditating on these magnificent words.
