FAMILY THEME: HEIRS OF GOD

Galatians 4:1-31

We are heirs of Christ through faith in Him, not by our own merits.

1.  God Turns Spiritual Slaves into Children of God and

     Heirs of Christ

     (Galatians 4:1-7)

     God adopts us into His family through the sacrifice

     of His only Son.

 
2.  Guard Against Returning to Slavery in Sin and Works-Based

     Righteousness 

     (Galatians 4:8-20)

     Paul loved the Galatians enough to warn them against

     their tendency to return to the old covenant.

 
3.  Our Inheritance is Based on Faith in God's Promise and

     Nothing Else

     (Galatians 4:21-31)

     Paul explained that believers are given an inheritance

     as God's children.
