Galatians 4:4-7, “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.”
Wow, Amazing, Wonderful, Awesome – there is no one word that can take in the scope of the truth conveyed in these verses.
“When the time was right, God sent forth His Son from heaven. We who were dead in our trespasses and sins, were redeemed by God’s grace. We were transported from being a servant into becoming a son and an heir of God through Christ.”
I often think we ignore or don’t focus on the wonderful truths that God reveals to us in His Word. We who were lost and without hope, have been changed forever by God’s love. We did not deserve or earn this transformation. Ephesians 2:8,9 says it best, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
God’s mercy – God’s love – has reached down from Heaven to each one of us who have accepted Jesus as our Saviour. This is an overwhelming truth that seems too incredible for us to comprehend but God desires for us to accept this love. We are definitely unworthy and undeserving — BUT God says that through the gift of His love we are now His sons and heirs.
Wow, Amazing, Wonderful, Awesome – appreciate what God has done for you and step out in the newness of life that God has offered to you. Don’t sit in the background of accomplishing very little. God desires for you to live in a manner that will be a testimony of His love and He desires for your life to shine for Him!
