In Romans chapter 8 verse 15 we read: "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father." Verse 23: "And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit the redemption of our bodies." Then in Ephesians chapter 1 Verse 5 Paul said to the church in Ephesus: "Having predestinated us unto the adoption..."
The word "adoption" is translated from two Greek words: ‘huiothesis’ and ‘huios.’ ‘Huios’ means a son, and the word ‘Thesis’ means a placing. Therefore the word adoption in the bible means a placing of a son.

Then the word governor denotes being the steward of one's property. In this case the governor was the guardian of the child's property, like a trustee. Now, let's read the scripture in Galatians chapter 4 verses 1-7. Verse 1: "Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, or slave, one who serves and is submissive (though he be lord of all or owner of all one day.”) Verse 2: "But is under tutors [or guidance] and governors [or trustees] until the time appointed of the father” Verse 3: "Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world." In other words, we held to a lot of "do's" and "don’ts" when we were children in the Lord.
No More a Servant - But a Son
