God sent His Son to redeem humanity from the law's condemnation and to adopt believers as His children (Galatians 4:5).
God's decision to send His Son for redemption stems from His love and grace towards fallen humanity. In Galatians 4:5, it states that Jesus was sent 'to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.' This expresses God’s desire to save those burdened by sin and the condemnation they face under the law. It highlights God's plan to bring His people back into a familial relationship, adopting them as His children. Redemption through Christ's sacrificial death fulfills both justice, by paying the penalty for sin, and mercy, granting forgiveness and reconciliation. This demonstrates the depth of God's love, as He willingly sacrificed His Son for the benefit of His chosen ones, illustrating the heart of the Gospel.
