Galatians Series: Sermon 8 ~ No Longer a Slave but a Son - Part 1 - Galatians 4 | Fanna Harmse

Description: In this message, Fanna Harmse continues the Galatians series with “No Longer a Slave but a Son – From Slavery to Sonship, Part 1.” Looking at Galatians 4, we are reminded that we can have an inheritance and still live like a slave, failing to understand the freedom and position we have in Christ. Jesus came at the right time to redeem us from slavery under the law so that we could receive the adoption as children of God. Through Christ, we are no longer slaves but sons and daughters of God, and because we are His children, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, enabling us to call Him “Abba, Father.” We are heirs of God through Christ and are called to live in the freedom and identity He has given us. Main Scripture: Galatians 4:6–7 Beskrywing: In hierdie boodskap gaan Fanna Harmse voort met die Galasiërs-reeks met “No Longer a Slave but a Son – From Slavery to Sonship, Deel 1.” Galasiërs 4 herinner ons daaraan dat ons ’n erfdeel kan hê en steeds soos ’n slaaf kan leef, sonder om die vryheid en posisie wat ons in Christus het, ten volle te verstaan. Jesus het op die regte tyd gekom om ons van slawerny onder die wet los te koop, sodat ons as kinders van God aangeneem kon word. Deur Christus is ons nie meer slawe nie, maar seuns en dogters van God. Omdat ons Sy kinders is, het God die Gees van Sy Seun in ons harte gestuur, wat ons in staat stel om uit te roep: “Abba, Vader.” Ons is erfgename van God deur Christus en word geroep om te leef in die vryheid en identiteit wat Hy aan ons gegee het.
