“born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law” [Galatians 4:4,5 (NIV)]

“born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law”. Born a Jew, raised as a Jew, Jesus lived under the same demands of the law as every other Jew. There were no concessions for Christ. The demands of God’s law were to be fully met in Him if He was to be our Saviour. But met those demands were, for He was without sin. Christ was born, Immanuel – God with us.
He was born to die and become the ransom to redeem those living under the condemnation of God’s law. Thank God for Jesus today! Christ has lived the life, paid the price and bought us back to belong to God. No longer under law but under the covering of God’s grace.
What a gift! What a price! What a Saviour! [AP]
