Galatians 3:26-4:7
ILLUS.- Visiting Family -- When I'm there I act like I LIVE THERE. I'm FREE. Why is that? - I'm their son. I don't wonder if I'm welcome. - With family it's different. There is confidence, boldness. It's different than with strangers or worse enemies.
One of the most profound things about Christianity is how it describes Christians relationship with God. We are called children of God. - Isn't that amazing!
All of humanity is experiences spiritual slavery to something but we were made to be sons and daughters. - Just as children are made for a family, they flourish in a family, being outside a family is outside God's design... so humanity was created to be family.

V. 25-26- Paul was telling the Jewish Christians they were no longer under guardian. - In fact, ALL BELEIVERS are sons of God through faith.
V. 27- Paul recalls their baptism. - Baptism was something every Christian particip ...
