Adopted by God

Many passages of the Bible focus on the events of Jesus’ birth, but this passage helps us to know what it means. We see that one of the main reasons God sent forth his Son was to bring his people out of slavery and to adopt them as sons and daughters. “When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his son…” At the right place and at the right time, God sent forth his son to redeem and restore his people. This message explores Galatians 4:3-7, the various ways we try to cope with separation from God, which Paul will call out as slavery, and how God pursues his lost people by sending his Son.
