God of majesty and
strength,
God made known to us
in Jesus--
light of the world
who calls us
to share the light of
life,
and who makes us heirs,
your children, not
slaves--
to follow him will be
costly,
but we would not make
you an
offering that costs
us nothing.

So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then
