Paul says in Galatians that when we were children, we were no better than slaves but God sent forth the Son that we might be

Answer Details

In the book of Galatians in the Bible, Paul is referring to the idea that before Christ came, people were living under the law and were like children or slaves to it. However, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to save people from the law and adopt them as His own children. This means that through faith in Christ, people are no longer bound by the law but are set free to live as children of God, adopted into His family and filled with the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the correct option is "adopted as sons of God".
