The verses around Galatians 4:6.
4But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
8Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
Verse explanation
“Abba” is the informal Aramaic word a child used to address a father, similar to “dad.” Paul says the Holy Spirit leads the believer to pray to God this same intimate way, a mark that they are now a child, not a slave.
From the Galatians 4 study in Bible in Stories.
