4:30-31 Sarah’s demand regarding Ishmael, quoted from Gen 21:10, becomes a principle (see Gen 21:12) for dealing with the current son of the slave woman—anyone who refuses to abandon slavery to the law. God does not allow those who seek righteousness through human effort to share in his inheritance (see Rom 9:30-33). Those who come to God through Christ alone, by faith and not by keeping the law, are children of the free woman who inherit God’s blessings.
