Α Sample. Christmas's Epistle
Ga. 4:4-7
"When, therefore, the time had come, God sent His Son; He was born of a woman; He submitted to the (Mosaic) law; 5 to redeem those under the law, for us to receive the adoption again. 6 Because you are His children, He sent the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, which cries, “Abba, Father!” 7 Therefore, you are no longer a slave, but His child, and as His child you are also His heir through Christ"
What was this signed manuscript? It was the agreement that God made with the Jews, through Moses. They promised him that “we will keep everything that God said” (Ex. 19:8), but they didn't keep them, and so they were in debt.
There was also the agreement that God made with our forefathers Adam and Eve, “that on whatsoever day you eat of the fruit, you will die.” And this “agreement” was held by the devil’s hands. Christ snatched it from his hands, and did not just erase our commitments, but he wiped out the “agreement”. “Wanting to give the favor of the ancient debts, the releaser of the debts of men, came in person to those who departed from his own grace, and having torn up the manuscript”. And so we regained the adoption that we had lost with the sin of Adam, this means “so that we may reap the adoption” As genuine children of God, we are automatically heirs of His Kingdom through Christ.
Because we became children of God again, God the Father sent the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, who cries, “Abba, Father”. “The name Abba (“daddy” in Greek) is the name genuine children; and Christ, praying in Gethsemane, as the natural Son of God, called God the Father “Abba the Father”. And we Christians, as sons of God by grace, cry in our hearts “Abba, Father”. (....).
