No more slave.

 No More Slave

A Reflection on Galatians 4:7

No more slave—the chains have fallen,

The prison doors are open wide.

No more cowering, no more calling

On a master who would hide.

So you are no longer a slave, but God's child; and since you are His child, God has made you also an heir. (Galatians 4:7)

No more slave to sin and shame—

The debt is paid, the past erased.

I am not defined by my own name,

But by the One who me embraced.

For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace. (Romans 6:14)

No more slave to fear's dark grip,

No more trembling at the night.

For love has come to break the trip,

And turn my darkness into light.

For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, "Abba, Father." (Romans 8:15)

I am a child of the Most High,

An heir to all His boundless store.

No more a slave to justify,

For grace has opened every door.

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! (1 John 3:1)

So let me walk in liberty,

No longer bound, no longer small.

For Christ has come to set me free—

No more slave. I am His all.

Amen.
