11. “Abba, Father” W. E. Vine “In the Germara (a Rabbinical commentary on the Mishna, the traditional teaching of the Jews) it is stated that slaves were forbidden to address the head of the family by this title. It approximates to a personal name, in contrast to ‘Father,’ with which it is always joined in the N.T. This is probably due to the fact that, ‘Abba’ having practically become a proper name, Greek- speaking Jews added the Greek word patēr, father, from the language they used. ‘Abba’ is the word framed by the lips of infants, and betokens unreasoning trust; ‘father’ expressed an intelligent apprehension of the relationship. The two together express the love and intelligent confidence of the child.”

12. Galatians 4:6 James Boice “…to the other doctrines of the faith already spilling over from vv. 4, 5 Paul now adds Trinitarian teaching, for he is telling us that salvation consists in its fullness of acts by God the Father in sending both God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Moreover, this salvation is both objective and subjective. For God the Father sent the Son in order that believers might have the position of sons and He sent his Spirit so that they might have the experience of the same reality.”

14. Galatians 3:26-4:7 Galatians 3 26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There 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. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 4 1 Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, 2 but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. 4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 1 Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, 2 but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. 4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

15. Galatians 4:7 Howard Vos “So that (as a result of Christ’s redemptive work on your behalf and His implanting the Spirit in your hearts) you are no longer (though you once were) a slave (in bondage under the law) but an adult son; and if an adult son (rather than one who is still a minor under certain controls), then an heir (enjoying a marvelous new spiritual heritage) through God.”
