Sons Not Slaves

In Galatians 3:10-4:7, we see that even obeying God's Law perfectly can bring us no closer to Him than being slaves. How then can we gain a better standing with God? Because the Lord Jesus fulfilled the Law on our behalf, in Him we are no longer slaves but sons, adopted into God's own family.

Galatians 4:7

⁷So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
