True Sons Are Not Enslaved by Anything Else”
Galatians 4:8-11
Purpose: Jesus Christ frees believers from all forms of bondage, especially religion
- A True Christian is a Son, Not a Slave (Gal 4:6-7, 8b, 9b-10)
A true son has the Spirit, cries “Abba! Father!,” is an heir, no longer a slave (vv. 6-7)
Formerly slaves to those which by nature are no gods (v. 8b)
1 Corinthians 10:18-22
Deuteronomy 32:15-18
You were bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:20; 7:23)
You don’t have to keep on paying it or earning it. It is paid in full.
No debt owed!
The son does not have to keep earning the status of being a son!
Only One Master (Matthew 6:22-24)
- Do Not Surrender Your Security in Christ (Gal 4:9-11)
Acts 13:26-52
If you know God, and He knows you, Don’t turn back! (v. 9)
