Scripture lesson: Galatians 4:4-7 A child of God

Time to reflect: This is a recurring theme in the New Testament and is a rather startling thought if we stop to think about it. In what way are we God's children. This is to be more than a vague analogy. Paul says we are heirs of God – we receive some kind of “inheritance” from God. What does that mean?

Moving through the day: Meditate on how you view your relationship with God. In what way do you view yourself as God's “Child?”

Scripture:

But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, 5to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons. 6Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba,^[a] Father." 7So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.
