Becoming Children of God: Lessons from Galatians 3:23–29 and 4:1–7

In Galatians 3:23–29, Paul explains that the law kept us in custody until Christ’s coming. With faith in Jesus, all believers are united and clothed in Christ, regardless of background or status. In Galatians 4:1–7, he compares us to heirs under guardianship. When the appointed time arrived, God sent His Son to redeem us and bring us into His family. As adopted children, we receive the Spirit that calls out “Abba, Father.” These passages remind us that through faith we move from slavery under the law to full inheritance as God’s heirs.
