Galatians 4:6-10

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.

8Before, when you did not know God, you served false gods. They were not gods at all, but you were their slaves.

9But now you do know God. Or really, I should say that God knows you. So you must not turn back to serve those weak spirits that rule this world. Why do you want to obey their useless rules and become their slaves again?

10You say that certain days, or months, or seasons, or years are special. That is how you want to please God.
