Abraham’s Seed

“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.” (Galatians 3:26-29)

Today’s Morsel: The Apostle Paul informs us that if any of us that do not have the Spirit of Christ, then we are none of His (Romans 8:9). He continues by telling us that for us to become the heirs according to the promise which God made to Abraham, then we must become Abraham’s seed. He told the church at Galatia: “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.” (Galatians 3:16) Jesus Christ is of the seed of Abraham. He came by the linage line of Abraham’s great grandson Judah. Therefore, Paul said, that when we are baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, we are putting on Christ, and we become the seed of Abraham, and heirs according to the promise. Don’t reject baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. That’s where we put on Christ.  As the apostle Peter informed us: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12) And it is the only name that make us heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ.  

Sing: Standing on the promises of Christ my King, through eternal ages lets His praises ring, glory in the highest I will shout and sing, standing on the promises of God. 

Standing, standing, standing on the promises of Christ my Savior, standing, standing, I’m standing on the promises of God.

Thought For Today: “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” (Romans 8:16-17)
