1 | Hebrews or to the sons of the promise? | Genesis | Taleb | 102390 | ||
Shalor, you asked: “Was it to Hebrews or was it to the sones of the Covenant? Abraham and David were the ones the promises were made to.” The first thing that popped into my mind was Galatians 3:16 – “Now the promises were MADE TO ABRAHAM AND TO HIS SEED. It does not say ‘and to seeds’, as of many, but as of one, ‘And to your seed, which is Christ’.” So, according to Scripture,the answer to your question is: Abraham and his seed – which is “Christ”, which (according to Gal. 2:29) includes anybody who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ. “And if you be Christ’s, THEN you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. Hope this helps, Taleb |

2 | Hebrews or to the sons of the promise? | Genesis | shalor | 102427 | ||
Well spoken brother, While I am a heir of the promise, I am still a gentile and an heir by adoption through the blood of Christ. (Eph 1:4-6 NASB) just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love 5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. |
