Galatians 4:1-7 - No Longer Slaves But Sons And Heirs
1 What I mean is this. As long as an heir is under age, there is no difference between him and a servant, though he is lord of all the property; 2 he is under guardians and trustees till the time fixed by his father. 3 So with us. When we were under age, we lived under the thraldom of the Elemental spirits of the world; 4 but when the time had fully expired, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, 5 to ransom those who were under the Law, that we might get our sonship. 6 It is because you are sons that God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts crying 'Abba! Father!' 7 So you are servant no longer but son, and as son you are also heir, all owing to God.
