Born for Our Adoption as Sons

Galatians 4:5b

About the Sermon

Our children often ask us "why". In fact, at this time of year as we're interacting with children of a certain age, we've probably had many of these conversations in the last few days! As we arrive at this last week together through the Christmas season, we'll look to Paul's letter once again as he tells the Galatians "why". Why did the eternal Son leave heaven? Why did he take on a human nature? Why did he go to the cross and to what end was the redemption he accomplished? Paul seems intent on telling God's children the "why" behind it all. In Galatians 4:1-7 we will look at the purpose underlying the incarnation and the joy that propels us to praise and glorify God!

About the Series

It’s easy to feel forgotten during the holidays. But God does not forget his people. “When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son” (Galatians 4:4–5). Christ came at just the right time and in just the right way—fully human, fully God, fully obedient even to the point of death. He is a perfect deliverer for sinners like us. In this four-part series we walk through each phrase in Galatians 4:4–5, a pregnant line of Scripture, to open to the Bible’s story, the mystery of Christ’s coming, and what it means for us.
