I died to the Law through the Law, so that I could live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the life that I now live in my body, I live by faith, indeed, by the faithfulness of God’s Son, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:19–20 (CEB)
“Mommy Dearest” was a movie depicting the terrible childhood of the daughter of a beloved Hollywood star, who throughout the pain inflicted on her still had to call he abusing mother, “Mommy Dearest.”
As little as we think about Abraham, we think even less about our maternal parentage as being from the line of Sarah and not Hagar.
Think it doesn’t matter? Paul shows it does!
Though faith, we become children not of a line of sin and terror, but of life and freedom. And in Sarah, we have a true dear mother!

- Galatians 4:21-31
