How did Paul prove to the Galatians that Christians are children of God?

Explanation

The notion that Christians were children of God was clearly shown in Paul's teaching on faith. His teaching further showed that the Christian were no longer held under the law. According to him, all Christians are sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, baptism to them means putting on Christ. To them there is no discrimination (neither Jew nor Greek, neither male nor female, neither slave nor free born) to any believer in Christ Jesus. He held the view that if we all Christ we are all Abraham offspring and heirs, because of the provision of the promise and the covenant. According to Paul, their sonship can be compared to a slave who owns the estate, but could not exercise control because he is held bound by the guardian. At appointed time, God sent His son born of a woman to liberate those who were held under the law. This redemption, enabled them to to be adopted as sons and have their freedom. On our adoption as sons through faith, we receive the spirit of His son in our hearts, since we are redeemed through Christ, we seize to become slaves but sons of God and fellow heirs of the kingdom. .
