Galatians 4:4-7
1599 Geneva Bible
4 [a]But when the [b]fullness of time was come, God sent forth his Son made of a [c]woman, and made under the Law,
5 That he might redeem them which were under the Law, that we might receive the [d]adoption of the sons.
6 [e]And because ye are sons, God hath [f]sent forth the [g]Spirit of his Son into your hearts, which crieth, Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore, thou art no more a [h]servant, but a son: now if thou be a son, thou art also the [i]heir of God through Christ.
Footnotes:
Galatians 4:4
a. He uttereth and declareth many things at once, to wit, that this tutorship was ended at his time, that curious men may leave to ask, why that schoolmastership lasted so long.
And moreover, that we are not sons by nature, but by adoption, and that in that Son of God, who therefore took upon him our flesh, that we might be made his brethren.
b. The time is said to be full, when all parts of it are past and ended, and therefore Christ could not have come either sooner or later.
c. He calleth Mary a woman, in respect of the sex, and not as the word is used in a contrary sense to a virgin still.
Galatians 4:5
d. The adoption of the sons of God, is from everlasting, but is revealed and showed in the time appointed for it.
Galatians 4:6
e. He showeth that we are in such sort free and set at liberty, that in the mean season we must be governed by the Spirit of Christ, which reigning in our hearts,
may teach us the true service of the Father. But this is not to serve, but rather to enjoy true liberality, as it cometh sons and heirs.
f. By that that followeth he gathereth that that went before: for if we have his spirit, we are his sons, and if we are his sons, then are we free.
g. The Holy Spirit, who is both of the Father and of the Son: but there is a peculiar reason why he is called the Spirit of the Son, to wit,
because the Holy Spirit sealeth up our adoption in Christ, and maketh us a full assurance of it.
Galatians 4:7
h. The word, servant, is not taken here for one that liveth in sin, which is proper to the infidels, but for one that is yet under the ceremonies of the Law,
which is proper to the Jews.
i. Partaker of this blessing.
Galatians 4:4-7
The Message
4-7
But when the time arrived that was set by God the Father, God sent his Son, born among us of a woman,
born under the conditions of the law so that he might redeem those of us who have been kidnapped by the law.
Thus we have been set free to experience our rightful heritage.
You can tell for sure that you are now fully adopted as his own children because God sent the Spirit of his Son
into our lives crying out, “Abba! Father!”
Doesn’t that privilege of intimate conversation with God make it plain that you are not a slave, but a child?
And if you are a child, you’re also an heir, with complete access to the inheritance.
