This sermon is from Galatians 4. In this chapter Paul emphasizes our position as the children of God, which also means we have an inheritance as children. There are at least eleven references to synonymous words for children – son, child, children. Those who belong to God through Christ are the children of God. Galatians 4:1-7 is all about how we have become the children of God. Galatians 4:8-20 is Paul personal anguish over the Galatians and his appeal to them to not slip back under the law. From Galatians 4:21-31 Paul uses a story from the Old Testament as an illustration of what it means to be the children of promise and why we ought to stand firm in the freedom we have in Christ.
