God’s Gift of Sonship Galatians 4:4–5 But when the fullness of the time

came, God sent forth 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.

3) Politically - By way of the Roman Empire, there was forced peace and availability to travel freely.

We form our own chains “I wear the chain I forged in life– I made it link

by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it.

Why did I walk through crowds of fellow human

beings with my eyes turned down, and never raise them to that blessed Star which led the Wise Men to a poor abode? Where there no poor homes to which its light would have conducted me?” (from A Christmas Carol)

I did not know him at first, but as he I did not know him at first, but as he went by I perceived the holes in his went by I perceived the holes in his hands and on his side” hands and on his side” (Pilgrim’s Progress)(Pilgrim’s Progress)
