As we continued the Redemption Stories this past Sunday we looked at the implications of our adoption into God’s family. In Galatians 4, we looked at the comparison between the servants of the house vs. the children of the house. While we used to be strangers in reference to knowing God, now through faith we have been immediately adopted in His family. We looked at the example of Jesus as He came to Earth, submitting Himself to the laws of nature that He created in order to rescue us from our bondage to sin and set us free to live as adopted children in God’s family under the law of His grace.
Have you come to the place in your journey where you have submitted your life to Jesus and exchanged your sin for His grace? In what ways have you grown to see God’s authority as something good to submit to rather than a hindrance to be avoided?
