A Voice in the Wilderness — Podcast BlogBreaking the Silence on the Legal Model: From Servants to SonsFor many, there’s a subtle silence that whispers:
“God accepts me when I perform… and withdraws when I fail.”
That silence began the moment Adam said,
“I was afraid… and I hid.” (Genesis 3:10)
But long before fear entered the story,
long before commandments, rituals, or the thunder of Sinai—
there was a Father (John 17:24).
Humanity’s fall didn't just break obedience.
It broke trust.
And when trust collapses, the Father must speak differently.
Paul explains that the law became a paidagōgos—a guardian for spiritually immature children (Galatians 3:24–25).
Not the final goal.
Not God’s ideal.
But a temporary measure to protect hearts that were too fearful to understand His love.
but He never meant for us to stay there.
Like a parent guiding a little child, He longed for us to grow into relationship, not remain in fear.
Imagine a father walking with his young daughter beside a busy road.
She wanders too close to the street, and he calls out gently:
“Stay with me.”
But when she steps off the curb, danger rushing toward her,
his voice suddenly becomes firm:
“STOP!”
Not out of anger—
but out of love.
He scoops her into his arms and whispers,
“I’m not angry. I just don’t want to lose you.”
That’s the Old Testament in a single picture.
God’s firmness was not the revelation of His true tone—
it was the expression of His protective heart.
And as Paul says, this doesn’t make the law unimportant (Romans 3:31).
It simply means God now writes it on the heart, not on stone (Jeremiah 31:33).
When Jesus came, He bridged the distance fear had created.
He said:
“If you’ve seen Me, you’ve seen the Father.” (John 14:9)
Not a different side of God—
the true one.
A Father who runs to prodigals.
A Father who calls us friends (John 15:15).
A Father who adopts us as children, not servants (Galatians 4:4–7).
Jesus didn’t come to soften the Father.
He came to show us the Father.
- Do I relate to God more as a servant or a son/daughter? Why?
- How does seeing God’s firmness as protective—not punitive—change the way I view His commandments?
- What would it look like for me to grow out of fear-based faith and into relational trust?
