Verses Used:

• Galatians 4:1-12
• Galatians 3:8
• Ephesians 1:4-5

Takeaways:

• Heirs - Paul uses the analogy of being an heir, something is coming in the future, but not knowing it right away. He is referring to God having good things in store for his people, and that it is coming.
• We get to share in the reward of Jesus because he was/is perfect. Even though we don’t really deserve it, we get to be in the royal family.
• Understanding our inheritance as God’s kids, his heirs radically changes our perspective.
• Adopted into the family - As adopted children, we can enjoy the same favor Jesus has with the Father.
• A waste of Grace - Galatians started out in grace but had a hard time continuing in grace.
• The Galatians had lost perspective, started to listen to the wrong voices, and drifted into lies about needing to keep the law instead of trusting in the grace of God through faith.
