FREE AS SONS Galatians 3:26-4:7 Salvation in Galatians... IWe are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. The doctrine of justification… We are right before God the Judge. The doctrine of adoption… We are loved by God the Father. The Adoptive Father... II. God sent His Son so that we might receive the position of sons. Adoption requires someone who comes at the right time. It was the right time theologically. It was the right time religiously. It was the right time culturally. It was the right time politically. Adoption requires someone who possesses the right qualifications. Jesus is fully divine. Jesus is fully human. Jesus is fully righteous. Adoption requires someone who has the right resolve. He determined to redeem us. He died to rescue us. III. God sent His Spirit so that we might experience the privileges of sonship. Because we’ve been adopted, we live with a new identity before God. We are baptized into Christ. We are clothed with Christ. We are united in Christ. We each belong to Christ. Because we’ve been adopted, we enjoy intimacy with God. We were once held captive by His law. Now we’re captivated by His love
Episode Notes
26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave[a] nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.
I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave,[b] though he is the owner of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. 3 In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles[c] of the world. 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
