Paul continues reasoning why the Galatians, or anyone, should revert to, or embrace, legalism.
As chapter 4 opens, he does so by comparing our spiritual state to the state of a person being adopted.
There are two types of adoption:
Making someone outside the family a part of the family
Making someone inside the family an heir of the family
The Status of the child, 1-3
under those they will lead, 1-2
under the “elements” the rudimentary first principles.
Analogous to the ABC’s, 3
The Sending of the Son, 4-5
The only exact moment He could come
Born under the law, He fulfilled its moral obligation
Died under the law, He fulfilled its sacrifical requirement
The Law could only lead to death and He took that death for us.
He was the price of redeeming us
For those outside the family of God, it brought us into it
For those inside the family of God (us included), it elevated us to heirs
The Seal of the Spirit 6-7
The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is evidence that we have graduated to fully-vested heirs.
He facilitates the promotion and serves as its constant reminder and enabler.
The Slipping of the Believer, 8-11
No turning back, 8-9
Once we were all ignorant, but now that we not, why would we go back to what couldn’t work to make us sons?
No imposed days, 10-11
They are a sign of our affinity for religion over relationship.
