Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:
- Read Galatians 4:1-7. Why would Paul say that an heir, while a child, is no different from a slave? How is this “the same” for us?
- What does God do for us through Jesus? What does God do for us through the Spirit? How are these similar? How are they different?
- When are you most in danger of living as a slave, not a son?
- Is adoption something you experience as well as understand? How can you meditate on the Son’s work more, and ask the Spirit to work on your affections more?
Memory Verse of the Week: Galatians 4:4 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. (ESV)
