Children by faith
Saint Paul here speaks to those who are the children of God by faith. You, he says, who are indeed his children, have drunk into his Spirit. You have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear. But because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts (Galatians 4:6). You have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
