TOPIC: You Are A Son Not A Slave
READ: Galatians 3:23-4:7 (NKJV)
23 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed.
24 Therefore the law was our tutor [to bring us] to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if you [are] Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
1 Now I say [that] the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all,
2 but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father.
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world.
4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”
4:7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
THE MESSAGE:
Our text today shows clearly that God does not discriminate against anyone, regardless of his or her background, gender or social status. Anyone can become a child of God as long as he or she is willing to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour (John 1:12). In addition, we also see that every Christian is automatically a seed of Abraham – He is counted as an heir – a person with access to inheritance of Abraham’s covenant blessings. In Jesus Christ, Christians receive the adoption of sons and the Spirit of Christ with guaranteed access to the Father. We have become heirs of God through Jesus Christ.
Beloved, you have access to God’s treasures as a Christian. As long as you know that your salvation in Jesus Christ is genuine, you can come boldly to the throne of mercy and obtain grace for your breakthrough and for intercession for others. You must realise that you are a son and not a slave; you are an heir of God because Jesus Christ brought you into the inheritance of His Father. God does not see you based on your past wrongs or faulty foundation. All things about you have become new. You can make demands in your Father’s presence for sound health, restoration, divine enablement to carry out specific functions or even your daily bread. You are no more a servant, but a son.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You for bringing me into Your everlasting Kingdom, Amen!
