25 Days Of Christmas
DAY 21: ADOPTION INTO GOD’S FAMILY
Where To Start
Read Galatians 4:4-5 and then watch the DAY TWENTY-ONE video.
Paul wrote to the Galatians about finding freedom in Christ. Legalism is man’s attempt to make religious systems that save.
Legalism adds human rules and is a heavy burden for everyone. Legalism is full of self-righteousness and hypocrisy. Legalism leaves scars.
Through Jesus’s scars, we are set free. Jesus’ grace is greater than sin. At just the right time, the Father sent His Son on a mission. The work is finished, and the Lord is risen.
We walk in love and truth. Jesus is the truth. God empowers us to do what is right.
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.
HOPE POINT
Jesus redeems and restores us.
Reflection Question: How does God adopt us into his forever family through Jesus?
PRAYER
God, Your timing is impeccable. Your thoughts and ways are far above ours. May we move in step with the Holy Spirit. As Your children, our purpose and passion are to glorify You. We fully forgive everyone who sins against us, just as You have forgiven us, Jesus. Amen.
