The document contrasts what it means to be "under religion" versus "under the redeemer." It notes that under religion, people were held in custody under the law and guardian until Christ came, and were like slaves or minors under guardians. However, now that faith in Christ has come, people are no longer under guardians but have been adopted as sons and daughters of God, clothed with Christ, and made heirs through faith. Belonging to Christ means there are no divisions and all are equal as Abraham's children.
