Galatians 4 & 5
In the fullness of time, you, Father, sent forth Jesus, your son, to be born into the flesh, born under the law, to redeem us, who were under the law, so that I, and all those who are yours, might receive adoption as your sons.
And because I am your son, you sent forth your Holy Spirit into my heart. Your spirit proclaims to my heart that I belong to you. I am yours, and you are my father forever. Therefore, I am no longer a slave, but now I am your son, and if a son, then an heir of yours, Father, through Christ.
So now, I know you, Lord, and I am known by you. I am in Christ, by your grace, and I am careful not to turn again to the weak and beggarly elements of the law. Teachers with false doctrine try to court me, but their teaching is no good.
It is clear from your word, Lord, that there are two covenants, one that amounts to bondage and the new covenant, that is freedom. Therefore, I stand fast in the liberty by which Christ has made me free. I live in the hope of righteousness by faith. I live in Christ Jesus by faith working through love.

AMEN
