Just as clearly God's word teaches that those who are redeemed from the curse of the law (Gal. 3:13), from all iniquity (Titus 2:14), become the sons of God; for that purpose "God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born 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."--Gal. 4:4-6. "For ye are all the sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus."--Gal. 3:26. But there is, in _God's plan with men_, beyond this a still more blessed, wonderful teaching: "Wherefore, thou art no more a servant, but a son."--Gal. 4:7. The one who is redeemed from under the law (Gal. 3:13) never gets back under the law again,--"Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son." That means, then, certainty of going to Heaven, certainty of being a son of God forever. And this new relation, and this certainty of Heaven are settled for men, not when they die, nor when they have united with some church, or have been baptised, but the moment men repent from their sins and accept the Saviour as their Redeemer from all iniquity; for God's word says, "He that believeth on the son _hath_ everlasting life."--John 3:36; and "Ye _are_ all the sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus."--Gal. 3:26. This new relation with God gives men a new motive. Under the law, guilty, condemned by it, the motive was fear. But when men have been redeemed from under the law and adopted as sons of God, the motive of fear is no more the motive of life. "Ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."
