[1] {little children}
The allegory
# Ga 4:22-31
is addressed to justified but immature believers (cf)
# 1Co 3:1,2
who, under the influence of legalistic teachers, "desire to be under
the law," and has, therefore, no application to a sinner seeking
justification. It raises and answers, for the fifth time in this
Epistle, the question, Is the believer under the law?
# Ga 2:19-21 3:1-3 3:25,26 4:4-6 4:9-31

[1] {But the fruit}
Christian character is not mere moral or legal correctness, but the
possession and manifestation of nine graces: love, joy,
peace--character as an inward state; longsuffering, gentleness,
goodness--character in expression toward man; faith, meekness,
temperance--character in expression toward God. Taken together they
present a moral portrait of Christ, and may be taken as the apostle's
explanation of
# Ga 2:20
"Not I, but Christ," and as a definition of "fruit" in
# Joh 15:1-8
This character is possible because of the believer's vital union to
Christ
# Joh 15:5 1Co 12:12,13
and is wholly the fruit of the Spirit in those believers who are
yielded to Him
# Ga 5:22,23
