1 | Understand Hagar and Sarah illustration? | Gal 4:21 | philemcc | 77364 | ||
Hagar and her son represent the fulfilling of God’s promises by our own efforts, the Jews under the Law, if you do these things you will live. The birth of Isaac was the result of God fulfilling His promise, not the effort of man but the Grace of God, the righteous shall live by faith. Eph 2: 8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God's gift-- 9 not from works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are His making, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them. philemcc |

philemcc ... Does it say Hagar and her son thru the promise, too ... or was it Sarah's only? Whose children was the Law given to? Who did Christ came to redeem, and how was He born (Gal 4:4-5)? |

These are the children of the promise Rom 4: 1 What then can we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? 2 If Abraham was justified by works, then he has something to brag about--but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness. 4 Now to the one who works, pay is not considered as a gift, but as something owed. 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes on Him who declares righteous the ungodly, his faith is credited for righteousness. 6 Likewise, David also speaks of the blessing of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: 7 How happy those whose lawless acts are forgiven and whose sins are covered! 8 How happy the man whom the Lord will never charge with sin! Gal 4:28And you brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise. Rom 4: 13 For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would inherit the world was not through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. 14 If those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made empty and the promise is canceled. 15 For the law produces wrath; but where there is no law, there is no transgression. 16 This is why the promise is by faith, so that it may be according to grace, to guarantee it to all the descendants--not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of Abraham's faith. He is the father of us all philemcc |

Thank you for correcting yourself ... I know others who say "Hagar and her son represent the fulfilling of God’s promises by our own efforts" or something similar. Tha is not what the Bible says. |

That is what the Bible says!!! Abraham, not waiting on God, trying to have the son He promised, by his own efforts. Gal 4:24 These things are illustrations, for the women represent the two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery--this is Hagar There are two promises of reconciliation from God Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: One is by obeying the Law the other by faith philemcc |
