Galatians 4.1-11

August 19, 2019

Thus far in our study of Galatians Paul has said that returning to the law was like a free man deciding he would return to prison and like a man insisting he be treated as a boy. Today Paul seeks to illustrate and apply this truth in yet another way by turning to a well-known practice in the ancient world, that of an heir coming of age, so as to enjoy all that he has legally possessed, but which has been beyond his personal control.
