Scripture always interprets scripture. See the reference to Galatians 4:27? Paul quotes this very verse. At that point in Paul's first epistle, he explains that Hagar was a type of the old covenant. Sarah was a type of the new covenant. As believers, we are the spiritual children of Sarah. Just as God predicted through Isaiah so long ago, there are more children of the new covenant than of the old. This was a direct fulfillment of prophecy to Abraham (Genesis 22:17). | ||||||

Hi Doctrinsograce, I for one had not noticed the reference to Galatians 4:17. Thank you. In comparing Scripture to Scripture I see that the God of all the earth is the God who was calling in New Testament times, and is still calling us today. Romans 11:29, "for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." This is from the standpoint of (God's) choice. Parentheses are mine for comparisons. Isaiah 54:5, "For your husband is your Maker, Whose name is the Lord of hosts, And your Redeemer/ is the Holy One of Israel, Who is called the (God) of all the earth. 6 "For the Lord has called you, Like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, Even like a wife of one's youth when she is rejected," Says your God." Galatians 5:5, "For we through the Spirit/, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. 7 You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8 This persuasion did not come from (Him) who calls you." From the heart, Ray |

Indeed! He is the God who called even in the Old Testament, Genesis 3:9... however, Matthew 22:14. | ||||||

Hi Doctrinsograce, You have brought up interesting comparisons. The God of the Old Testament called to the man and found him naked. The Prophet of the New Testament called to everyone who could be found; and when the king in the parable looked over the guests he did not find them naked, but he found a man who did not have wedding clothes. There was nothing that he could say. Another comparison is that the Pharisees counseled together to determine how they could trap Him in "word"; how to trap Him in some statement. Adam had been disobedient to the words of God and had eaten from the tree of which he was commanded not to eat. All he could say was that the woman gave to him from the tree, and he ate. What are we going to say if the Lord calls us and wants to give us words of life to follow and obey or living water like the Samaritan woman in John 4:14. From the heart, Ray |
