About this listen
On Sunday morning, we looked at Galatians 3:23 to 4:7. Paul used a series of illustrations to compare living under the law to trusting in Jesus. When we're under the law, it is like we are prisoners or schoolchildren. We are given instructions but we have an impersonal relationship with our Master. Yet when we trust in Jesus, it is like we have been freed or have grown up. We know that our freedom and maturity is due only to Jesus, and we now see our instructions as useful things we want to do. Likewise, Christians are like sons of God, not servants. Servants try hard to please their Master but can only, at best, be good servants. Sons are very different. Sons are secure and know they are already loved by their Father. They want to honour Him, not to get a reward, but because they already know they are loved. Remember this week that you are a son or daughter of God if you trust in Jesus. You are secure, and loved, and you can honour God with joy.
