SOAK Galatians 3:26-4:7

I know, it is a long passage. We have to squeeze a little to get all of Galatians and Romans in before we start SOAKing the Christmas story in November.

This is an amazing passage with lots of meat. One of the important things in this passage is the point that Paul makes about there being no difference between any of us; slave or free, male or female, Jew or Gentile. Now obviously there are great differences between any of those pairs. Paul's point is that what we have in common is so much greater than those things that separate us (gender, class, culture, race, social standing) that those other differences disappear.

What is this wonderfully huge thing we all have in common?

We all have been adopted by God, so that we have the privilege to call Almighty God the same thing. We can all call Him "Dad."
