We Believe

Friday, March 19, 2021
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born
of a woman, born under the law, in order to redeem those who
were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as
children. And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit
of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no
longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through
God.
Galatians 4:4-7
In this passage, Paul describes Jesus as both “God’s Son” and “born of a
woman.” Jesus is fully God and fully human—not half and half, but
completely both. This is why we praise Jesus in our worship and seek to
imitate him in our lives.
• Write or say a brief prayer of worship to Jesus.
• Now imagine Jesus as an older brother. What do you want to say to
him or ask him?
• This passage speaks of redemption and freedom. What parts of your
life do you need God to redeem? What are some things you need to
be free from? Pray about these things. Ask a trusted friend to pray
with you and for you.
