"God sent out his son, born out of woman," Galatians 4:4.
God sent who? His son. When? When time was completely full. When the Law exercised its harsh authority. How did his son get here? Birthed, from a woman. His mother. Naturally. (A granddaughter, a great, great, etc., great-granddaughter of Abraham & Sarah.) Yeah. Now we, too, were children, but not of God. Rather, we were enslaved to nature's domain, under the Law's curse. Why did God send his son timely, under the Law, born from a woman? To redeem us from the curse, to adopt us his children, all his children to be just like his son.
We fellowship with an adopted brother or sister today redeemed by our elder brother, Jesus. And, together, we sing praises to God, our father, who loves all his kids totally.
