Having described the experience of Jewish Christians as coming into their full inheritance, Paul described the conversion of Gentiles (non-Jews) in Galatians 4:8-20. Simply speaking, they (we) had not known God but then came to know him. However, the Galatians later turned back to a form of religion that was similar to what they had when they were enslaved to idols. Therefore, they serve as a constant reminder to all of us not to revert to a religion of law-keeping but to continue to trust in Christ alone.
Happy are those who have the kingdom of God, even if they lack much on earth, and the most pitiful are those who do...
When we fulfill the roles assigned to us by God, both children and parents end up happier.
In a surprising parable, Jesus taught his disciples to be shrewd in our money management to produce eternal benefits.
