Galatians 4:6

Jesus
Identity and self-worthThe Holy SpiritGod's presenceGod's love

4 But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive our adoption as sons.

And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”

7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.

8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
