Gal 3:26-4:7

The law leads us to Christ and we are justified by faith in Him (v3:24). But the good news does not stop there - we are also brought into God's family as sons. Paul is addressing a church that had turned from the gospel of grace to the gospel of earning your own way. Paul reminds the Galatians that *all* who have believed and trusted Christ are sons of God. There is no Jew and Gentile. No circumcised and uncircumcised. No "only gave $5 to God, but I gave $10". No good enough and not good enough. There is no "special knowledge" or revelation that we must attain. All believers are sons of God and all believers are *one* in Christ Jesus. There are not distinctions - we are all one in Christ. Jesus, the Son, redeemed those born under law that we might receive the full rights as sons (v5). There are not some believers who are freed from slavery to sin and other believers who are still slaves to sin. All who believe are freed. All who believe receive the gift of the Spirit in their hearts. All who believe have the privilege of approaching God as "Daddy". And through the Spirit, all who believe are freed to follow the law. Not through their own power to achieve eternal life, but through God's power to live as sons. Daddy, thank you for your many gifts of grace. Remind me to live today through Your Spirit and as Your son.
