We Are God’s Children - Galatians 4-6

Galatians 4:7 (ESV)

So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

We are no longer slaves to this world, we are children of God.   Note how many times we are called children of God (son’s of God):

John 1:12 (ESV)

12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,

Romans 8:14 (ESV)

14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Romans 8:16 (ESV)

16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

Galatians 3:26 (ESV)

26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.

1 John 3:1-2 (ESV)

1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.

Hebrews 8:10 (ESV)

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel

after those days, declares the Lord:

I will put my laws into their minds,

and write them on their hearts,

and I will be their God,

and they shall be my people.

We are His children.  Rejoice!!
