Galatians 4:1-7
THE FULLNESS OF TIME
"But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law." Galatians 4:4, NIV
Slavery is more of the state of the mind than a physical state. It is a perpetual state of ignorance and fear. In time past, slave masters would allow one or two slaves to attempt escape and when caught, such would be treated brutally and murdered in full view of the other slaves to serve as a deterrent to them.
They are thus enslaved physically and psychologically; and, once the mind is captured, the strongest muscles would offer very little or no resistance.
Before the coming of Christ Jesus, we were slaves – body, soul and spirit – to the wisdom of this world. Every attempt of humankind to set him/herself free kept failing. Satan and sin held us bound and we could not shake them off no matter how much we tried.
However, God sent His Son into our lives and afterwards He sent His Spirit into our hearts, as a guarantee of greater things. God did these so that we should no longer be slaves to sin and Satan. With Jesus, no one can enslave you again!
Prayer Point: Pray for total freedom from every form of slavery in which you may be.
