Hi Jane,
<<but I have never felt that I was part of the Seed of Abraham.>>
I almost jumped out of my chair when I read that! <gg>
Gal. 3:6-9
6 Even so Abraham BELIVED GOD AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
7 Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith that are sons of Abraham.
8 And the Scripture, forseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "ALL THE NATIONS SHALL BE BLESSED IN YOU."
9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer.
Gal. 3: 12-14
12 However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, "HE WHO PRACTICES THEM SHALL LIVE BY THEM."
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us - for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE" -
14 in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
When we accept Jesus our Saviour we become sons of Abraham also!!
Together in Jesus,
Bob |
