Subject: Why did God wait to send the Holy Spirit |
Bible Note: Paul is speaking to the Jews not the Gentiles. The Gentiles were not called "sons". Neither was we (Gentiles) under the "Law". Read it many times with God being the Father and the Jews being the "sons". See how it makes sense that If God had come early, it would not have made sense, because they would not have been mature enough. It is like giving a six year old, a car, even thought he owns it, it does not mean he should have it. |
