galatians 4:7 Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

< Galatians 4:5
Galatians 4:7 >

      7. Wherefore--Conclusion inferred from Ga 4:4-6.
      thou--individualizing and applying the truth to each. Such an individual appropriation of this comforting truth God grants in answer to them who cry, "Abba, Father."
      heir of God through Christ--The oldest manuscripts read, "an heir through God." This combines on behalf of man, the whole before-mentioned agency, of THE TRINITY: the Father sent His Son and the Spirit; the Son has freed us from the law; the Spirit has completed our sonship. Thus the redeemed are heirs THROUGH the Triune GOD, not through the law, nor through fleshly descent [WINDISCHMANN in ALFORD]; (Ga 3:18 confirms this).
      heir--confirming Ga 3:29; compare Ro 8:17.
