3-4-08 Galatians 4:4, 5 In the Fulness of Time God Sent His Son

Galatians 4: 4, 5 (NAS)
But when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, in order that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

Galatians 4: 4, 5 (Philips)
But when the proper time came God sent his own Son, born of a human mother and born under the jurisdiction of the Law, that he might redeem those who were under the authority of the Law: so that we might become sons of God.

Galatians 4: 4, 5 (NLT)
But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children.

Although it seemed that God delayed in fulfilling His promise of the coming Messiah, He waited until every detail had been satisfied. He knew when the time would be right to accomplish what He had decided before the beginning of time. When that season finally came, then God completed His plan of redemption.

Jehovah Elohim, the Almighty and Eternal God, sent His Son Jesus to complete His mission. He had been set apart until God could set Him at liberty to fulfill the new covenant, a covenant that could only be established through His own shed blood.
Therefore, Jesus, like every other man, came into being and was born of a woman. Because of this, He came under the laws of man. He lived and grew under the Law of Moses. He was subject to its regulations and principles like every other man. And in His humanity, He fulfilled every aspect of it. He finished all that was required of Him.
Yeshua was obedient in this, in order that He could ransom, rescue, and redeem you. He went to the public thoroughfare to buy you back from the one who caused you loss. Jesus purchased you with His very own life.

Because He kept and fulfilled every aspect of the Law, Jesus had the legal right to redeem you from the curse of the Law. He lived His life as approved unto God that through His sacrifice, you can also live a life that is approved of God. Yeshua placed you in a position of a child of God. You did not naturally belong to God, but through the only Begotten Son of God, you now supernaturally belong to Him.

Now you must believe in and receive the fact that you are an adopted child of God. Because of this, you can live your life abundantly and free from the power of sin.
