Having a proper understanding of God as our Heavenly Father is crucial in rightly relating to Him. Paul encourages the Galatian believers to move on from relating to God with the Law in the mix in order to fully experience the relationship that God intended for us. He reminds them that God sent His own Son at the proper time in world history to redeem us to Himself, and that He will come again in God's perfect timing to bring His children home. The Spirit dwells within the believer in order that we might fully flourish as a child of God.
