Jesus' Heritage
I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, �Abba! Father!� So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God. [ Gal. 4] --sent His Son, born under the law...different than us who were not sent, yet Jews were born under the Law. --curious about the extent of Gal.3 where it says the "Scriptures imprisoned everything under sin": what is the context of "everything" here?
