What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of the world. But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.
The Galatians had responded eagerly to Paul's preaching.
Why?
All of us like sons of host, when we are underage, we are no different from a slave. Slave of the Law.
When the time is up, God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem us from slave and become his heir. And send the Holy Spirit in our hearts, we call out 'Abba, Father'.
Abba: Aramaic for Father

奴僕與孩子的分別
兒子和奴僕在小時候是沒有分別的。但是僕人無論如何努力，還是奴僕。兒子是時間到了就可以承受產業的。承受產業不是因為學習、管教，均與行為無關，與努力無關。因為有兒子的身分。行為主義是沒有用的，最多得到主人的稱讚而已。
客觀的事實：耶穌生在律法之下，耶穌基督進入監牢，將我們帶出來。
神差遣聖靈進入我們的心，我們就會稱呼神為我們爸爸，這是主觀的經歷。
靠著神成為後伺。不是透過努力。父親本來就愛他，因為神自己的兒女。

How?
Thank the Lord, for Jesus Chris, we may call the Lord, Abba, Father. My relationship is changed from the slave of the Law into the heir of the Lord.
