From Sonship To Slavery
Part 1
Text: Galatians 4:8-11
Introduction:
The essence of Paul’s message here is: Once you were slaves. Now you are sons. How then can your turn back and desire to be slaves again?
Lesson:
I. Paul Reminds the Galatians of Who They Were: Ignorant of God, v. 8
Whatever we worship, to that we are enslaved.
“Whoever falls from the doctrine of justification is ignorant of God and is an idolater” (Luther’s Works, vol. 26, p. 395).
Reflection:
How then do we avoid the Galatians’ folly? How do we avoid turning from sonship back into slavery?
