The Book of Galatians Part 12 | known of God

• August 12, 2025 • 3 views

Following thanksgiving for Christ’s death, resurrection and redemption, the speaker reads Galatians 4:8-11. The former service of false gods is connected with Ephesians’ description of life shaped by the world. The question is why believers would return to bondage after being received by God. A central interpretive distinction is drawn between being known by God and growing in knowledge of God. New birth is presented as belonging to the family, while understanding develops through learning and maturity. The speaker places Paul’s alarm in the context of pressure to make Mosaic observance a condition of salvation. The final section applies the warning about days and seasons to life directed by God. Ordinary calendar dates remain useful reference points, while the speaker urges continued reliance on grace and faith rather than religious calendar-keeping as a saving basis. The closing declaration affirms remaining in God’s household to grow and inherit, accompanied by a strong attributed warning about abandoning faith.
