The Fulness Of Time

"But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons."  Galatians 4:4-5.  From times eternal, God had a plan to redeem humanity.  That plan was in the making throughout the period of the Old Testament.  God created a nation which would provide a seed for the Christ.  When the time according to God's purpose came, God sent His Son being born of a virgin into the world.  Jesus was born while the law of Moses was effective.  But, God's purpose was for Christ to fulfill that law and replace the law of Moses with a new covenant.  God was going to make new and better promises to those who would be adopted as sons.  Our adoption into the family of God was because of God's eternal plan.  Christ would die on the cross to redeem those who were under the law of Moses and make of them sons and daughters.  The fulness of time brought a new redemption for humanity and a new covenant through Jesus Christ.
