Galatians 3&4; 2 Corinthians 5

I am your son, Father, through faith in Christ Jesus. I was baptized into Christ, and I have put on Christ. It’s not about my background or my social status or my gender. All that matters is that I am one with you, Father, in Christ Jesus.

At your ordained time, you sent forth your son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem all who are yours, that we could receive adoption as your children.

Now, because I am your child, you have put the spirit of the Lord Jesus into my heart. By your spirit, I know I am your child, and I cry out to you, Abba, Father.

Now, Father, I am an heir of yours through Christ. Everything now in my life is from you, Father. I am reconciled to you through Jesus Christ. You are in Christ, reconciling me to you and not charging my trespasses against me and committing to me a ministry of reconciliation.
