"You Are Treasured"

In Galatians 4, Paul draws a bold line between living as slaves and living as sons.

Before Christ, we were bound to performance, rule-keeping, and spiritual insecurity; heirs who didn’t yet know the inheritance that waited for us. But at the perfect time, God sent His Son to redeem us, adopt us, and place His Spirit within us so we could cry out with confidence: “Abba - Father.”

This means we belong. You are no longer striving to earn a name. You’ve been given one. You’re not tolerated.

You’re treasured.
