WHO WE ARE – ACCORDING TO PAUL IN GALATIANS 4:1-7
1. Who You Were (4:1-3)
2. How God Changed You (4:4-5)
3. Who You Are (4:6-7)
Galatians 4:1-7
I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. 3 In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Galatians 4:4
• Deity: To be the Son of God was to be equal to God.
• Pre-existence: Sent forth implies he already existed
• Born of a woman: Virgin birth—foundational truth.
Jesus was the eternal fully God and fully man.
• Born under the law: Subjected himself to live under the law and did so perfectly. Even though he was tempted in every way as a man—he never sinned.
