Galatians 4:4-5


4 But when the proper time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born subject to [the regulations of] the Law,
    
Look at what the Holy Spirit tells us here, the proper time has fully come for us. Now is the day of our salvation and today is the accepted time for us to be mature, 2 Corinthians 6:2. Our Father does not have to wait until Heaven to fully and perfectly be united with us. Jesus came and He succeeded. 

5 To purchase the freedom of (to ransom, to redeem, to atone for) those who were subject to the Law, that we might be adopted and have sonship conferred upon us [and be recognized as God's sons].

We have been purchased by Christ, this Truth makes us the slaves of Christ. Now ask yourself this, who is responsible for the slave, is it the Master of the slave or the slave?

You were bought with a price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for by Christ]; then do not yield yourselves up to become [in your own estimation] slaves to men [but consider yourselves slaves to Christ]. 1 Corinthians 7:23

Jesus purchased our freedom from the Law. Which means that we are now free from do this work to obtain God’s favor and don’t do that work to avoid His wrath. The children of Israel couldn’t even keep a simple law like make one day a week Holy. So to set us free from the weakness of the flesh, our Father sent Jesus and now we are free from all of the fear of succeeding or failing by our works. In Christ we are now free from the bondage of being a man and we enjoy the freedom of being a new creature in Christ, 2 Corinthians 5:17. In Christ we have perfect freedom and peace, John 14:27. Our peace is the Truth that now all things work out for our good, Romans 8:28. Our victory is that now we are more than conquerors through Christ Who loves us, Romans 8:37. The price that was paid for us has set us free to be as Jesus is, even when we are on this earth, 1 John 4:17!
