00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:04.599
Thank you for joining us at this
time where we read the word of God.

2
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:09.240
We are doing so in the New
Testament and our quote is in Paul

3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:14.839
' s book or Letter to the
Galatians, Letter to the Galatians, chapter

4
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:22.160
four. Let us read chapter four
of the Letter to the Galatians. That

5
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:27.519
' s what God' s word
says. But I also say, meanwhile,

6
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:32.399
that the heir is a child in
no way different from the slave,

7
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:39.920
although he is lord of everything,
but is under tutors and healers until the

8
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:43.880
time appointed by the Father. So
we too, when we were children,

9
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:49.640
were in slavery, under the rudiments
of the world. But when the fulfillment

10
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:55.520
of the time came, God sent
his son born of a woman and born

11
00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:00.640
under the law to redeem those under
the law so that we might receive the

12
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:07.799
adoption of children. And because you
are sons, God sent into your hearts

13
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:14.359
the spirit of his son, who
cries out abba father, so you are

14
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.280
no longer a slave, but a
son. And if son, also heir

15
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:23.560
of God through Christ. Certainly,
in another time, not knowing God,

16
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:30.319
you served those who by nature are
no more gods now knowing God or rather

17
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:38.000
being known by God. How do
you turn back to the weak and poor

18
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:46.359
rudiments to which you want to re- enslave you guard the days, the

19
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:52.040
months, the times and the years. Moreover, I fear of you that

20
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:56.640
I have labored in vain with you. You guys. I pray, brethren,

21
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.200
that you may become like me,
for I also have done myself to

22
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:07.359
you, as you have done me
no wrong, for you know that because

23
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:15.319
of a disease of the body I
preached the Gospel to you at the beginning

24
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.439
and you did not despise me or
cast me away because of the trial I

25
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.039
had in my body. Rather,
you received me as an angel of God,

26
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:32.479
like Christ Jesus. Where, for
there is that satisfaction that you experienced,

27
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:39.840
for I testify to you that if
you had been able, you would

28
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:44.639
have taken your own eyes out to
give them to me. I have become

29
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:53.000
your enemy to tell you the truth, they have zeal for you, but

30
00:02:53.039 --> 00:03:00.800
not for good, but they want
to turn you away from us so that

31
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:06.919
you may have Him for Helios.
It is good to show him in the

32
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:14.879
good as long as and not only
when I am present with you my little

33
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.439
children, for whom I again suffer
labor pains until Christ is formed in you.

34
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:24.599
I would like to be with you
right now and change my tone,

35
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:32.280
for I am perplexed as to you, tell me what you want to be

36
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:38.080
under the law. You have not
heard the law, for it is written

37
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.960
that Abrahana had two sons, one
of the bondwoman, the other of the

38
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:49.120
free woman, but that of the
bondwoman was born according to the flesh plus

39
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:55.039
that of the free woman by promise, which is an allegory, for these

40
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.840
women are the two covenants. The
one comes from the mountain. Sinahi who

41
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:04.560
gives son to slavery. This is
agar, because agar is the Sinai mountain

42
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:11.319
in Arabia and corresponds to the present
Jerusalem, for it is with its children,

43
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:16.439
It is in bondage plus Jerusalem from
above, which is the mother of

44
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:25.199
all of us. He is free
because it is written, rejoice, you

45
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:30.160
barren one, you who do not
give birth, break in joy and cry

46
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:38.240
out, You who have no labor
pains, for more are the children of

47
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.160
the desolate than of the one who
has a husband. So, brothers,

48
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:47.839
we, like Isaac, are children
of promise, but as then, he

49
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:54.000
who was born according to the flesh
persecuted him who was born according to the

50
00:04:54.040 --> 00:05:00.240
spirit. Even so now, what
the scripture says outside to the slave and

51
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.639
her son, for the son of
the slave shall not inherit with the son

52
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:11.399
of the free, So brethren,
we are not the children of the slave,

53
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:13.360
but of the free.
