Galatians 4:3-7

3In the same way, we were children like that in God's family. We were slaves to the bad spirits that rule this world.

4But when the time that God had decided arrived, he sent his Son into the world. A human mother gave birth to him. He was born a Jew, under the authority of God's Law.

5In that way, he made us free from the authority of the Law. Before that, we were like slaves under the Law. But God's Son paid our debt, so that God would accept us as his true children.

6Because we are his children, God has sent his Son's Spirit to live inside us. His Spirit causes us to call God, ‘Father, my Father’.

7So you are not slaves any more, but you are God's children. And because of that, you will receive all the good things that God has promised.
