Introduction:
• Galatians 3:46-4:7
• Imagine being handed the keys to a kingdom-not because you earned it, but because you were chosen and loved. That is the reality of our identity in Christ. Scripture tells us that we are not just followers or servants-we are heirs. Sons and daughters of the Highest, adopted in This family, and granted access to every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.
• To live as heirs in Christ means embracing a new way of thinking, a new way of living, and a new kind of confidence. It is not about striving for worthiness; it is about walking in the inheritance already secured for us through Jesus. This inheritance includes grace, peace, purpose, and eternal life-but it also calls us to responsibility, maturity, and faithfulness.
• In this message, we explore:
o Our New Identity in Christ (3:26-29)
o Our Past Condition: Slavery (4:1-3)
o God’s Redemption (4:4-5)
o Our Present Reality: Adoption and Intimacy (4:6-7)
• Let us step into the fullness of who we are-not as orphans or outsiders, but as beloved children of God, called to reflect His glory and carry His promises forward.
