3:21 Coming of age for the inheritance
21 So does the law oppose God’s promises? Certainly not, because if the law was able to give life, you could become guiltless by obeying the law. 22 The scriptures explain that everyone is imprisoned by sin so that by faith in Yeshua the messiah, the promise could be granted to those who believe.
23 Before faith could come, we were guarded under the law—imprisoned so that faith could be revealed. 24 So the law was our tutor until the messiah came so that we could then be made guiltless by faith, 25 and now that we’ve come to faith, we’re no longer under our tutor.
26 So you’re all children of God through faith in the messiah, Yeshua, 27 because everyone who’s been immersed to obey the messiah, is now cloaked in the messiah. 28 Then there’s no Jew or Greek, no slave or free person, no male or female, because you’re all identified as being in the messiah, Yeshua. 29 [ref]And if you’re in the messiah, then now you’re Abraham’s descendant and so you’re heirs of that promise.
4 But as long as the heir is underage, he’s no wealthier than a slave (even though he’ll become the master) 2 but he is under guardians and managers until he reaches the age that his father specified. 3 So it is with us—when we were infants we were enslaved by the principles of this world, 4 but at the appointed time, God sent his son down to be born from a woman and to live under Moses’ law 5 [ref]so that he could buy back those enslaved under the law and they could now be adopted as children with their inheritance.
6 So because you are now children, God sent his son’s spirit down into our hearts as we call out, ‘Father, father.’ 7 Now you are no longer slaves but children with full rights, and as children, heirs of God’s promise.
Rom 4:13:
4:13 God’s promise is attained through faith
13 [ref]It wasn’t because of his obeying the law that it was promised that Abraham or his descendants would inherit the world, but because of his righteousness that came from his faith,
Rom 8:15-17:
15 [ref]You didn’t receive a spirit of slavery to fear again, but rather it was the spirit of adoption as children that you all received, and with his help we call out, ‘Father, father.’ 16 God’s spirit himself agrees together with our spirit that we are God’s children, 17 and if we’re his children, then we’re also heirs so we’ll receive an inheritance from God. That makes us fellow-heirs along with Messiah—if we’re suffering with him then we’ll also be honoured along with him.
