Commentary on Galatians 4:7

Theological / Devotional

No more a servant. See on v. 1. It is the Spirit who gives this assurance. Being a member of God’s family, the believer may now, as a son and heir, approach God. He may do so in the full assurance of the Father’s solicitous interest. Under the influence of the Judaizers the Galatians were ignoring the significance and value of the freedom God had so generously provided in Jesus Christ. Compare the parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32).

An heir. See on chs. 3:29; 4:1.
