Doesn't that privilege of intimate conversation with God make it plain that you are not a slave, but a child? And if you are a child, you're also an heir, with complete access to the inheritance.
7
So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.
Galatians 4:7 In-Context

7
