Galatians 4 Appointed time of the Father

[Eddy Crocker]

Galatians 4 King James Version (KJV)

4 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;

2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.

3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:

4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

The focus is the first 2 verses. Sons and servants have to grow up together until the time appointed of the father. These 2 verses coincide with the wheat and the tares growing up together found In....

Mathew 13:24-30

23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

²⁴ Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

²⁵ But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

²⁶ But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

²⁷ So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

²⁸ He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

²⁹ But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

³⁰ Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

What do you think the appointed Day of the Father is? Any suggestions?

[Eddy Crocker]

I want to know your thoughts on what you think the day appointed of the father means and how is it fulfilled in our everyday life.

I personally believe this is when we are truly born again. It’s not when we confess he is Lord by our flesh. But we can only truly confess he is Lord when he confesses us out and recognizes us as his son. As a result of our hearts crying abba father we can confess he is Lord then that’s when we are truly saved or born again. I really think this is what many souls leave out as a true conversion.
 

The conversion happens within us first then the manifestation of that conversion spills out of us in a public proclamation either by our conversation which in Greek means our lifestyle or possibly a physical confession. Confession in scripture is said to be unto salvation but It is not salvation in itself. It’s a means to or towards that.
