Galatians 4:4-8

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,

so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons and daughters.

Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba! Father!”

Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are not gods.
