Episode 23: Galatians 4

Today's meditation is based on Galatians 4

When I was a child, I was enslaved under the hostile spirits of the world. But when the time of fulfillment had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law. So that he could redeem me and set me from from the law as a full, legally adopted child of God.

So I would know that I am his true child, God released the Spirit of Sonship into my heart — moving me to cry out intimately, “My Father! My true Father!”

I no longer live like a slave under the law, but I enjoy being God’s very own daughter! And because I'm his, I can access everything my Father has. I am an heir because of what God has done!

Before I knew God as my Father, I was an unwitting servant to the powers that be, which are nothing compared to God. But now that I truly know him and I am intimately known by him, why would I for a moment consider turning back to those weak and feeble principles of religion, as though I was still subject to them?

Why would I want to scrupulously observe rituals like special days, celebrations of the new moon, annual festivals, and sacred years?

I am kindhearted and have a free spirit, seeking excellence and integrity always, as the Anointed One becomes fully formed in my heart.

I have been reborn supernaturally by the Spirit--birthed into freedom! I am now a true child who inherits the kingdom promises. I am a child of grace.
