Gratitude For The Faithful

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 10, 2019

The Children Of God Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 12, 2026

The Children of God Galatians 4: 1-11 Our text continues the line of thought from the previous passage as Paul further argues that salvation is a gift of grace received by faith in Christ, not obtained through personal merit or works of the flesh. He again uses the illustration of children, here ...read more

GALATIANS 4:8-20 AN APPEAL OF LOVE The conclusion reached in verse 7 is that those who have received the Spirit are now sons and heirs of God.
