Galatians 4:4-7 『But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. 』

It means that he is a servant of Satan before he is a son.『Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son;and if a son”.“God sends the Spirit of his Son into our hearts” That is, when God sends the Holy Spirit, he becomes the Son of God. That is, when a saint dies on the cross with Jesus, God resurrects me with the Holy Spirit. So, believers live under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, not the law. In Romans 8:14, ``For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 』

The reason God gives the saints the spirit of the Son is to make them free from slavery. That is redemption: ``Redeem those who are under the law.'' God redeems those who have left God when they repent and turn away. To repent and turn around means to die on the cross with Jesus. Redemption is the concept of paying the blood of Jesus and buying a slave from Satan. When Satan's servant repents and turns, Jesus' death is applied and God is changed to the sonship. In Galatians 3:13, ``Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 』

The Bible said that redemption is done from the curse of the law, and that everyone who hangs on a tree is cursed by God. That is why even those who are redeemed were cursed by God because of Jesus Christ, and the requirements of the law were fulfilled. For the curse Jesus received on the cross to be applied to believers, it must be a united faith with Jesus. That is, the old man dies with Jesus.

Since the demands of the law are fulfilled, it becomes the cause of the son, not the servant. The demand of the law is a curse and death. In Romans 8:3-4, ``For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. In other words, the requirement of the law is death on the cross. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, received the punishment that sinners deserve.

In order for the punishment received by Jesus Christ to be recognized as received by a sinner, faith entering into Jesus Christ is required. That faith is the faith that dies and rises with Jesus. This faith becomes the faith of those who do not follow the body but walk according to the spirit. If you still follow the body, you are not in faith.

The meaning of following the body means that the body becomes the subject and lives legally. All beings who have left the kingdom of God who have become humans obey the law. For they are under the law that reveals God's wrath. On the contrary, those who follow the Spirit are those who are united with Jesus Christ, who died under the law. In conclusion, those who follow the flesh are those who obey the law, and those who follow the spirit are those who have been killed by the law.

In Galatians 4:4-5, 『But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption. of sons. "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 』In Galatians 4:4-5, those who received the cause of the son had no law. And in Romans 8:1-2, those who are in Christ Jesus are subject to the law of the Spirit of life. Because the law of the Spirit of life is a law above the law.

People say, "Now that the law is gone, can we not keep the law?" Say. Because the law of the Spirit of life guides them, those who are in Christ have nothing to do with the law. By the way, what is the law of the Spirit of Life? God gave the law to sinners who left God because they wanted to be like God. Because those who follow the flesh always think of the things of the flesh. That is why you must realize that you are a sinner. By the way, the law of the Spirit of life now gives spiritual life food to those who have convicted of sin and repented and returned to God.

Those who are subject to the law of the Holy Spirit always think of the work of the spirit. If he feels that he must obey the law even though he thinks he is born again, it is not that he is born again. Because he is a thinker of the things of the flesh, he thinks of the law. But those who are born again always think of God's work. God's work is to save the spirit.

Those who follow the law of the Holy Spirit are those who participate in God's new covenant. However, if you do not participate in the new covenant, you become a participant in the old covenant based on the law. The new covenant that Jesus established is the covenant of blood. Those who eat Jesus' flesh and drink blood are part of the New Covenant. In other words, those who die on the cross with Jesus and have the resurrection faith become those who participate in the new covenant. Those who participate in the new covenant become those who have nothing to do with the law (old covenant). In the past, the Israelites broke the covenant because they did not keep the law. That is why God will give the new covenant in the future and engrave it in the hearts of the people, and God will fulfill the new covenant. It is what the Holy Spirit does to keep in mind. That is why the Holy Spirit seals the heart of anyone who looks at the brass serpent held on the pole.
