Aim: To come to appreciate the inheritance the Lord has for His church now, and in the future.
Exegesis: We must grow into our inheritance. This involves the eternal plan of God (v. 1), the role of the law of God (v. 2), and our need for deliverance by God (v. 3). We must understand our inheritance. Our inheritance is entirely dependent upon God: He timed it (v. 4a); He fulfilled it (v. 4b); He empowered it (v. 4c). Our inheritance is entirely manifest in Christ: this is seen in the cross (v. 5a) and in the resurrection (v. 5b). We must experience our inheritance, because we now have a great Father (v. 6) and a great fortune (v. 7).
Key verses: vv. 4-5 ''But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.''
