Galatians 4:6-8
Names of God Bible
6 Because you are God’s children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into us to call out, “Abba![a] Father!” 7 So you are no longer slaves but God’s children. Since you are God’s children, God has also made you heirs.
8 When you didn’t know God, you were slaves to things which are really not gods at all.
