God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons. —Galatians 4:4-5
The Father sent his Son. No one else would do as our Savior and Lord. The Father had sent prophets, priests, and preachers, yet they could not bring the salvation and hope that were needed. Religion remained earthbound, legalistic, and doomed. So, God sent the one most precious to him: his Son. Why? So measly human beings such as you and me could be adopted into his family and have the same rights as the Savior, God’s Son, and our brother in the faith because of our adoption into God’s family!
