Redemption: Galatians 4:4-5

The Trails Church

Galatians 4:4-5 not only highlights the plan of God that would unfold in the fullness of time, but also shows the purpose of God in sending his Son. Jesus came at the appointed time to redeem us from the law, sin, and death. With his life he fulfilled the law of God and then he died for those of us who never could. This is the heart of the Christmas message. This truly is good news of great joy: that God has brought us “Redemption” through his Son. We will continue our study of this passage by focusing on the next phrase, and from it continue to fill out our doctrine of Christ. We look first at Christ the Promised Redeemer and secondly at Christ the Perfect Redeemer.
