Galatians 4:4

King James Version (1769)

4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
Untruth

Misinterpretations of this passage often reduce 'made of a woman' to deny Christ's divinity, portraying Him merely as a human prophet rather than God incarnate; others dismiss 'fulness of the time' as mere historical happenstance like Roman roads or Greek culture, ignoring God's sovereign orchestration; some erroneously claim being 'made under the law' means Jesus was legally culpable or sinful like humanity, overlooking His sinless obedience to redeem believers from the law's curse.

Truth

Galatians 4:4 declares the precise timing and incarnation of God's Son in His redemptive plan: at the 'fulness of the time' divinely appointed, God sent forth Jesus, fully human as born of a woman yet fully divine, and placed under the Mosaic Law not as a sinner but to perfectly fulfill it and liberate those bound by it through adoption as God's children, highlighting God's sovereign control over history and salvation.
