A Divine Allegory
At the end of chapter 4 The Apostle Paul takes a different approach with the Galatians. He uses the allegorical method in interpreting the Genesis 21 account of Hagar and Sarah. We learn from this divine allegory that those who seek salvation in the flesh are children of Hagar and those who receive it by faith through promise are children of Sarah. The Galatians are commanded to cast out the slave woman and her child which implies the Law and the law-keepers.

Restart Your Life
Since God gave up His Son to die for us, he will also give us everything else. If we have found forgiveness, now He now wants us to follow His plan for our lives. We can restart our lives and have God direct our future. Just like patriarch Abraham whom God commanded to step out in faith, God asks us to trust Him completely, step out of the familiar, and enter the vast unknown believing that He will unveil His plan. We can rely on His promises. He will take us through every obstacle in life including the 'detours' that come along.
