Embracing Your New Identity & Inheritance

Galatians 3:26-29 (NASB)
²⁶  For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
²⁷  For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
²⁸  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
²⁹  And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise.

Galatians 4:1-7 (NASB)
¹  Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything,
²  but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father.
³  So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world.
⁴  But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,
⁵  so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
⁶  Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"
⁷  Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.
