n this episode of Wednesday in the Word, Stu Epperson and Dr. Sam Horn explore Galatians 4:1–7 and the transforming truth of spiritual adoption through Jesus Christ. Building on Paul's teaching in Galatians 3, they examine how Christ's coming in the fullness of time fulfilled God's promises, redeemed His people from bondage, and brought believers into the freedom and privileges of being children of God. Through the illustrations of heirs, guardians, and adoption in the ancient world, this discussion highlights three key themes: the illustration of humanity's former bondage, the consummation of God's redemptive plan through His Son, and the confirmation of believers' identity through the Holy Spirit, who enables us to cry, "Abba, Father." Listeners are encouraged to stand firm in their identity in Christ, rest in salvation by grace through faith, and resist the temptation to return to a performance-based approach to God. The episode also challenges Bible study leaders to teach Scripture faithfully, speak truth with boldness and grace, and help others understand the freedom and inheritance believers have in Christ.

What Purpose Then Does the Law Serve? Galatians 3:19-29
What is the purpose of God's law, and why can't keeping the commandments save us? In this episode of Wednesday in the Word, Stu Epperson and Dr. Sam Horn explore Galatians 3:19–29 to uncover the law's God-given purpose as a mirror that exposes our sin, a guard that hems us in under its condemnation, and a guardian that points us to Jesus Christ. Discover how the law was never intended to provide salvation through human effort, but to reveal our need for a Savior and point us to God's provision through the perfect substitute, Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Through Christ, we are justified by faith, brought into God's family, and made heirs according to the promise given to Abraham. The discussion also examines what it means to be baptized into Christ, how believers find their identity in Him, and how all who belong to Christ stand on equal footing as sons and daughters of God, regardless of ethnicity or social status.
