The Slave Woman's Son; No Share in the Inheritance

Galatians 4:30 NIV
Quote:
 
But what does Scripture say? "Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son."

Is this an ordinance levied against children of Hagar?

Are they not unlike us gentiles who are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus?

Re Gal 4:31 NIV
Galatians tells us that we, brothers and sisters, are not children of the slave woman but of the free woman. Are not Ishmael and his descendants as well? Not by blood but in spirit? That they too can receive God's grace through faith in Jesus? Or am I confusing inheritance with salvation?

Our inheritence is given because of our salvation. The slaves are those that follow the law but are not believers in the faith. We are not to bound to the law and the law does give our inheritence.
