God’s Child

What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world. 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. Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.

Galatians 4:1-7

Christmas used to be limited to December, but now we find radio stations playing music early in November. Now all of that has changed, and we almost forget what Christmas is all about.

We all remind ourselves what Christmas means. We remember the love and grace of a forgiving God who sent us rescue in the Person of His Son.

Jesus is our life all year long, and He is the greatest wonder, “O Come, let us adore Him!”

Jesus is our life throughout the year.
