Fullness of the time

God Sent Forth His Son

Galatians 4:1-6

Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child.

does not differ at all from a slave

though he is master of all

but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. 

Even so we, when we were children

were in bondage under the elements of the world. 

But when the fullness of the time had come,

God sent forth His Son, born of a woman,

born under the law,  

to redeem those who were under the law,

that we might receive the adoption as sons.

And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”
