The real children of Abraham, then, are those who put their faith in God. ~Galatians 3:7 NLT
I love New Testament scriptures that unveil or give clarity to Old Testament scriptures. We are told the Old Testament is a shadow of the New Testament.
In the above the verse, we are told that the REAL children of Abraham are those who put their faith in God. Are you a real child of Abraham?
We know Abraham was righteous, not because he was willing to sacrifice his son Isaac, No! He was righteous because he believed God. We are also righteous, because we believe God.
May we be more conscious of our spiritual lineage than our physical lineage. We often have people who like defining themselves in accordance to their physical lineage, for example "I am from a poor background, my father was poor, grandfather was poor so I'll be poor" etc. But they forget that, when they believed in Jesus Christ, they became children of Abraham. Abraham the one whom God gave the whole world to.
Clearly, God’s promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God’s law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith. ~ Romans 4:13 NLT
As Christians the blessings of Abraham are ours. Abraham was the richest man! He had all things! He was mightily blessed! And you are his child. Brag about your spiritual lineage. Your are Abraham's seed and he was rich in all things!
