"At the right time Christ died for the ungodly" (Romans 5:6). Jesus fulfilled God’s purpose not only in being born, but also in dying, for his death was a timely sacrifice. God gave his Son so that "whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). It was that people condemned under God’s law could be redeemed and forgiven. God had a marvelous purpose in giving his Son. And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6). "A child shall be born to us, a Son shall be given us, and the government shall rest on his shoulders. One prophecy said that a child would be born to be a king who would rightly be called the Mighty God (Isaiah 9:6-7). Many great prophecies gave hope to Israel in its bad days. Galatians 4:4 "In the fulness of time God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under law, that he might redeem those who were under law." 6And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, ' Abba! Father!' 7So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God” (Galatians 4:4-7). 5 to redeem those who were under law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. ¶“ 4But in the fullness of time God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law.
