Faith Working Through Love: Sonship

As we move back into Galatians this Sunday, we pick up on Paul’s statement, “Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.” (Galatians 3:25). That supervision refers to the role of the law to hold us in a sinners' prison. But the law can no longer hold us because through faith, we’ve been justified, declared righteous by God. The promises of God’s covenant are ours in Christ.
 
Freedom from the law’s condemnation isn’t the end that God has in mind. He wants more for you! Paul highlights this in his climactic statement, “You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.” (3:26) We are children of God, because we are united with God’s one and only Son, Jesus.
 
So, come Sunday and consider your new status in Christ!
