"Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman."
Paul continues on the theme of grace and law in this chapter. God has given us grace, called us to be his children. With that adoption comes the rights and privileges of being God's child. Yet, the people continued to go back to the law and the slavery of the law.
The irony for us is the only religious law we have to deal with is our own legalism. We forget that God calls us into relationship, not a list of rules.

It's funny how you can re-read Scripture but really not "get it" until you hear or read a slightly different angle on it! This is what happened today with this passage from Galatians. I am so thankful to KNOW that we are not tied to a bunch of laws but rather to a loving relationship with our Father in heaven. Praise God for His most amazing grace and love!
