“But when the set time had fully come…”

“God sent his Son, born of a woman…”

Receiving Adoption

Let Us Pray:

Jesus, thank You!

Thank You for giving everything so that I could be adopted into the family of God.

I have been made right with You.

You were the perfect sacrifice.

There is no greater act of love than what You did for me.

Now I get to have a relationship with You.

Thank You.

In Your name, Amen.

Galatians 4:4-5 says,

“But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.”

“But when the set time had fully come…”

Meticulously crafted and precisely prepared for, God’s plan was carried out to the final detail.

When the moment came for the Messiah to be born, it wasn’t a surprise or an accident.

It was right on time.

It was one holy moment where all of creation could at last exhale, “Finally.”

“God sent his Son, born of a woman…”

The Son of God left heaven to be born.

What could be a more humble act of sacrifice?

He took on human form and lived His life here on earth.

“Born under the law, to redeem those under the law…”

God’s law includes standards that men and women could never have lived up to on their own.

Jesus, born under the law, lived a life no one else ever had—a perfect one.

And in living a perfect life, He not only fulfilled the requirements of the law,

He bore our burden of righteousness and gave it to us freely.

He redeemed us.

From under the law to being in Christ, we know what redemption is because the one perfect person came to redeem us.

“… that we might receive adoption to sonship…”

Read that last part again: ”that we might receive adoption to sonship.”

That we might become the family of God.

“But when the set time had fully come…”

We “receive” because we are no longer earning.

And We receive “adoption” because He is bringing us in.

Also We have “sonship” because we are His own.

But take one more look at that third word: “Might.”

This adoption isn’t forced. It isn’t required, it isn’t demanded, and it isn’t a result of coercion or pressure.

It’s an invitation.

And It’s a choice.

It’s not conditional based on who you are, where you’re from, or the things you’ve done. 

Yes! It’s simply a chance to receive. Just receive.

Galatians 4:4-5 KJV

[4] but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

[5] to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Are you ready to be adopted into the family of God?

And Are you ready to receive the righteousness Jesus gave everything for you to have?

It’s yours to receive.

You don’t have to wait a minute longer.

Your adoption is three words away:
“Jesus, I believe.”
