What Does Galatians 4:26 Mean?
Against the earthly, enslaved Jerusalem, Paul lifts up another: the Jerusalem that is above, the heavenly city. She is free, and she is the mother of all who belong to Christ. This is the family of promise, born to liberty.
Believers trace their birth to this free city, not to the slave. They are children of grace and promise, citizens of a Jerusalem that knows no bondage. Paul assures the Galatians of the freedom that is their true inheritance, far above the chains the troublers offer.
