Scriptural reference
Agorazo Ekagorazo Lutroo
Galatians 4:5-7
1. The basis for servanthood in the New Testament

2. ‘to purchase in the market,’ is used to explain
how Christ paid the redemption price of His
blood, which was sufficient to purchase every
one ‘sold under sin’ [Galatian 3:10, 2 Peter
2:1 ]
‘to purchase and take home, out of the
slave market (An Exodus)’ emphasizes
that Christians have been purchased out
of the marketplace and are no longer for
sale. [Galatians 3:13 ]
‘to purchase and give freedom and to
confer son ship,’ emphasizes the
liberty that belongs to a soul
redeemed by God. Through Christ
believers have become God’s sons by
adoption [Galatians 4:5 ] The
Christian is encouraged to stand fast
in that liberty [Galatians 5:1 ]
Stages of Sonship
Galatians 4:1, Hebrews 5:12-14
Matthew 21: 28-31 (Parable Sons in the
teknon stage) Matthew 21: 33-44
Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3
Nepios Stage Teknon Stage Huios Stage
A babe. A young child. A Mature Son
Though an heir but differs not from a slave due
to lack of Maturity. Great Learning and
foundation (Milk) are necessary.
Ready to be given responsibility but
there are inconsistencies in carrying out
the will of the father…shows more
training is necessary.
This is the son who may be sent as
the full, complete representation of
the Father. (Parable of the Huios
Son). The Huios son carries the
measure of the house of God when he
is sent. This is the fully mature, Christ-
like son.
