This afternoon we want to think about the experience of the believer as an heir of all things in Christ. An earthly heir is one who stands to inherit; land, property, goods, money, and the possessions of his father when he dies, or when his father decides to give it to him. As our text says, he is “master of all” because he stands to inherit, but he is not actually in possession of all, until the time appointed by the father. It was even so with those who were Jews before the Incarnation of Christ. Although this letter was written to the Galatian churches, which were composed for the most part of Jews, nevertheless I will attempt to apply this study to ourselves as Gentiles, some of us having been under a nominal Christianity when we were children. Some of us belonged to churches which taught infant baptism, confirmation, and taking the Lord’s Supper as being the means of our becoming Christians. For some of us, we were blind to the idea of “carnal ordinances”. So tonight we want to speak 1st about how the heir does not differ from a slave when they are a child. 2nd – That the Jews were under guardians and stewards until the time appointed. And 3rd – How being under the law was a bondage under the elements of the world.
