Galatians 4:7 Why you are no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. By it God the Father is made our Father. The incarnate God-man is made our Elder Brother, and we are made — 1. Like Him. 2. Intimately associated with Him in community of life, standing, relations, and privileges. 3. Joint-heirs with Him of His glory. The Holy Ghost is our Indweller, Guide, Advocate, Comforter, and Sanctifier. All believers being subjects of the same adoption are brethren. (A. A. Hodge.) Parallel Verses KJV: Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.WEB: So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. |
