We’re going to *continue* our teaching from the *book of Galatians*.
*Last time* we took up (*GAL 4:1-5*) so I want to just *read over* those *Vs* *1st * so that we can get an *understanding* of *what is being said*.
*I) **GAL 4:1-5* (*explain*)
*A) **GAL 4:6-7*
*1) *In the *last part* of this *V* *Paul uses* the *phrase* *“CRYING, ABBA, FATHER.”
*
*(a) *The word *“ABBA”* is a *CHALDEAN* word for *“father.”
*
*(i) *Simply what *Paul is saying* is that *WE CRY, FATHER, FATHER.*
*2) **Some have taken this word* *“ABBA”* *to be* *MORE SPIRITUAL* *or* *HAVE SOME MYSTICAL SIGNIFICANCE*.
*(a) **Some* have even *gone around* *CHANTING* IT TO *SOME SORT*, *thinking* that it is going to *make them more spiritual* *or* *draw* them *closer to God*.
*(b) **There’s* *nothing wrong with the word* (Paul uses it), *but* it’s *not going to do more then saying* *FATHER, FATHER*.
*3) **The thing* that *Paul is trying** to **get across* here *is that* *God* *has now **come into our lives* *when** we **accepted Jesus* *into our heart*.
*(a) **John said* in (*1 John 4:4*) *“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”*
KJV
*(i) **Because we received Jesus* *as* our *Lord and Savoir*, the *HS has also come into our heart*.
*Now* the *greater 1 dwells in us*.
*(b) **This all has taken place* *because*, *as Paul says* it *in* (*V 6*) “*Ye are sons*.”
*B) *In *(V 7)* *Paul* *somewhat repeats himself*.
Let’s read *it again* *GAL 4:7*.
*1) **Now when Paul says* that *we are* *“NO MORE A SERVANT (slave **NKJV**), BUT A SON”,* *is he telling us that **we** are **not servants** of God*?
*2) **Last week* I *said* that it is *good to study* the *Word* of God *Verse by verse*, *that way* you can *get* the *full meaning in context*.
*(a) **Paul tells us* in *this V* that *we are **not servants of God.* *When you read this* *you have to **read* it *in context.
*
*3) **Paul refers to us as* *“SERVANT OF GOD”* *in* *(ROM 6:22; EPH 6:6; 1PET 2:16) *
*(a) **Paul refers** to **himself** as a **servant** of **Jesus Christ* in *(PHIL 1:1) *
*C) **So to read* *that* *we** are **not servants of God* in *(GAL 4:7)* *seems** to **contradict* what *the rest of the Word* of God says.
*1) **But it doesn’t*, *you **have to read* what Paul is talking about *in context.
*
*2) **What has Paul been talking about* *in these Vs *here *in* (*GAL 4*)*?*
*(a) **We’ve been talking about* *being** a **young child,* *where the child is **placed under tutors and governors.
*
*(i) **These **tutors and governors** were **servants.
*
*(ii) **Paul said* that *the child*, *“Differeth nothing from a servant, until the time appointed by the father.”(V1
KJV)*
*(b) **In* *(V 5)* *Paul talks about* *the* *“Adoption of sons,”* *meaning* that *the son is placed back into the same family* *with the full rights and privileges as a son.
*
*(i) **When Paul says* that *we are no more servants*, *he saying that **we are no more in slavery under the basic principles of the world.
(GAL 4:3 NIV) *
*(ii) **We’re not servants** to the principles **of the world*, *and* *we are **not servants to Satan.
*
*(iii) **Now we are servants of God* *(by choice).*
*But even more then servants,* *we are sons of God; and if a son,* *then an heir of God through Christ.*
*II) **GAL 4:8-11*
*A) **Paul* was *amazed* *and* even *astonished* *that the **Church* here at Galatia *would go back to idolatry.
*
*1) *This *church* is *made up of many Greek* who *formally* were *into Greek mythology*.
*2) *Turn over to *ACTS 14*
*(a) *In *(ACTS 14:8)* it *tells us* that *Paul was in **Lystra* which is in *1** of the **providence’s of Galatia.*
*(b) **ACTS 14:8-15a*
*(i) **They called* *Barnabas, Jupiter*; and *Paul, Mercurius or Mercury.
*
*(ii) **In the Greek*, *both* these *words* *come from **Greek mythological gods.
*
*(iii) **“Mercurius”* is the *Greek God “HERMES”* and *“Jupiter”* is the *Greek god “Zeus.”
*
*(c) **Paul quickly stated* that *these gods** were **false gods.
*
*(i) **But we can see where this church at Galatia is coming from,* *what they came out of*.
*B) **GAL 4:12-16*
*1) **We’ll get into this later if we have time.*
