Adopted heirs

Galatians 4:4-7 | But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children. And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.” Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir.

• When we are declared right in God’s sight through Jesus, what does God do according to today’s passage? 

• What inheritance comes with being an heir adopted into God’s family? 

• Do you feel like part of God’s family? Why or why not? 

• Do you live like a member of God’s family? In what ways?

Are you known as a member of God’s family? In what ways and by whom?
