3 So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world.
4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,
5 so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
6 Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"
7 Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

What an incredible picture of adoption. We are lost in this world. We have on one looking out for our good. We wander around in desperation, trying to make sense of this life, to no avail. Then Christ takes hold of our lives. We discover that He is our redeemer! And when we receive that by Faith, we become adopted sons(and daughters) of God, with full rights to the fullness of His inheritance.
