In Galatians 4:1–7, Paul uses the image of a child coming of age to describe the believer’s journey from slavery under the law to full sonship through Christ. Though once under guardians, we are now adopted as sons and daughters, with full rights in God’s family.
Through the Spirit of His Son, God not only saves us—but gives us intimacy with Him, so that we cry out, “Abba! Father!” This is the heart of spiritual growth: not just knowing God, but belonging to Him.
Join us as we reflect on the transforming power of adoption, and what it means to grow in our identity as children of God.
