Who are you? Many of us answer that question by mentioning what we do or what we’ve accomplished. Others might respond by what others have done to them.   In Galatians 4:1-7, Paul lifts our eyes to a different kind of answer one not built on our achievements or our failures, but on something much more profound. God has adopted us into His family, sent His Holy Spirit into our hearts, and made us h...
