‘God’s sons’ refers to an adult son that is able to receive his father’s property. In those days, only sons could receive such a gift. But Paul was not referring only to men. He was contrasting the adult child with the young child in verse 24. An adult does not start to behave like a child again. The adult son does not need a slave to control him. ‘All of you’ refers to both *Jewish and *Gentile Christians. They had become part of God’s family when they trusted Jesus Christ. They were like mature adults. Therefore, they did not need the law to control them.
