TRUSTEES UNTIL THE TIME SET BY HIS FATHER / GALATIANS 4:2

Paul’s statement here is used mainly to illustrate the situation of a believer under the Old Testament covenant (God’s standard of maintaining a relationship with Him based on Old Testament laws and sacrifices, before Christ made the perfect sacrifice for sin with His own life). The principle of this passage, however, also indicates the godly parents normally oversaw the instruction of their children (Deuteronomy 6:7). Such supervision would have been done through education in the home or by placing the children under the care and instruction of godly teachers.  Scripture clearly teaches that parents should do all they can to be sure that their children receive a God-centered, Christ-honoring education in all aspects of life, starting in the home. This also implies that we are to guard our children as they encounter ungodly influences and that we teach them how to recognize and resist such influences. We must guide them away from the world’s ungodly philosophies and unbiblical principles and toward faith and dependence on God (Luke 1:17).
