Once again Emilia open the Bible for me for some insight 😍
Galatians is about how we approach God through grace, not through the law.
Jesus didn't come to abolish the law but to fulfill it.
Matthew 5:17
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them

What stands out to me is the story of Hagar and Sara...
Galatians 4:21-31....
Hagar and Sarah
Hagar and Sarah
21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. 23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise.
24 These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written:
“Be glad, barren woman,
you who never bore a child;
shout for joy and cry aloud,
you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
than of her who has a husband.”[e]
28 Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise. 29 At that time the son born according to the flesh persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. 30 But what does Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”[f] 31 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
From My Joyce Meyer Bible...life point...
In Galatians 4:24-31, the Bible speaks about two covenants, describing two ways in which we live.
The first way we choose to live is by sids works of our own flesh. We take care of ourselves; we make our own plans and struggle to make things happen our way, in our timing. This describes the natural way, the "normal" way most people live. It is a way that produces every kind of s misery. We struggle, get frustrated, fail,p and end up weary and worn-out most of the time. We are confused and defeated, and have no peace or joy.
The second way we can live is supernaturally, by the power of God. We ot live by faith, trusting God to do what 08 needs to be done in our lives. This way is described in the Bible as a new and living way (see Hebrews 10:20). This new way produces peace, joy, ease, and success
