To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
All Commentaries on Galatians 4:5 Go To Galatians 4
Tertullian of Carthage
AD 220
Ever done to bring about the fulness of time, or to wait patiently its completion? If nothing, what an impotent state to have to wait for the Creator's time, in servility to the Creator! But for what end did He send His Son? "To redeem them that were under the law".
and "that we might receive the adoption of sons"
