Luminescent: Child of God
Click here for printable pdf

Text: Galatians 4:1-7
My point is this: heirs, as long as they are minors, are no better than slaves, though they are
the owners of all the property; 2 but they remain under guardians and trustees until the date
set by the father. 3 So with us; while we were minors, we were enslaved to the elemental
spirit of the world. 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a
woman, born under the law, 5
in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we
might receive adoption as children. 6 And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of
his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave but a child, and
if a child then also an heir, through God.
