Galatians 4:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ And you are God’s children. That is why God sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts. The Spirit cries out, “Father, dear Father.”^{[a] 7} So now you are not a slave; you are God’s child, and God will give you what he promised, because you are his child.

Paul’s Love for the Christians

⁸ In the past you did not know God. You were slaves to gods that were not real.
