Galatians 3&4

In Christ Jesus, by your grace and decree, father, I am your son through faith. I have been baptized into Christ and I have put on Christ. I am one with the family of God in Christ. I am Christ’s; I am Abraham’s offspring; I am an heir according to your promises father.

In the fullness of time, father, you sent forth your son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem me who was under the law, so that I would receive adoption as your son. And because I am your son, you sent the spirit of your son into my heart crying, “Abba, Father”.

You are my father and I am your child. I am no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

I do not turn to the weak and worthless, elementary principles of this world, whose slave I once was, but now I have come to know you, father, and to be known by you.
