Advent: Galatians 4:4-5

 Advent: Galatians 4:4-5 by ric gustafson

We will have a conflict with darkness. The light of Jesus is our redemption. Galatians 4 says God sent his Son born of a woman born under the law in order to redeem those who were under the law so that we might receive adoption as children. We must be redeemed. Then we can receive adoption as God's children. In the fullness of time, this event was the birth of a child. His name was Jesus. Jesus came for us. He was born a human being. He took his place with us under the law. Then Jesus died and was raised. Jesus saved us. 

There is a battle between light and darkness. With sin, Jesus is our only hope. Jesus's light rejects darkness. Because of Jesus, we have redemption and adoption as the children of God.

Jesus loves us more than anything else.
