Heir Under Guardian

As long as the heir is a child, he is no different than a slave. The heir is under guardian (the Law) until the time appointed by the Father.

Fullness of Times

When the fullness of time had come, God sent His Son to redeem me from the Law.

Son, Not Slave

I am no longer a slave (spiritual child), but a son (spiritual adult), and an heir with Christ.

Spirit Cries Out

The Spirit in me cries out "Abba, Father."

Beggarly ElementsSpecial

Now that I belong to God, why would I turn again to those beggarly elements — the keeping of the Law for the gaining of righteousness?

Enemy BecauseSpecial

Have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth?

Zealous for ThemSpecial

The legalists zealously court you that you may be zealous for them — those who depend on law-keeping for righteousness.

Labor in ChildbirthSpecial

I (Paul, inspired by the Spirit) labor in childbirth until Christ is formed in you (soul salvation).

Two CovenantsSpecial

Hagar (a type of the Old Covenant) bore Ishmael (a type of the flesh); she corresponds with Mount Sinai (the Law) and bondage. Sarah (the New Covenant) bore Isaac (the Spirit and promise); she corresponds with Mount Zion (grace and the Church) and liberty.

Barren WomanSpecial

Rejoice, O barren woman — the desolate (Old Covenant, flesh) has many more children than she (New Covenant) who has a husband (Christ to whom the believer is betrothed).

Currently the SameSpecial

Even as he who was of the flesh (Ishmael) persecuted him who was born according to the Holy Spirit (Isaac), so it is currently — that which is of the flesh/Law persecutes that which is of the Spirit/promise.

Cast OutSpecial

Cast out the bondwoman (Old Covenant law-keeping) and her son (flesh), for such shall not be an heir with the son (promise/grace) of the freewoman (New Covenant).
