Adoption as God's Children through Faith

Galatians 3:26-4:7
26For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27For as many as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither slave nor free; there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.
Chapter 4
1I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is lord of all. 2But he remains under guardians and stewards until the time set by the father. 3In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved under the elemental principles of the world. 4But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law. 5To redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, 'Abba! Father!' 7So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.
