Subject: Relation to Galatians 3:16... |
Bible Note: Hi Gal5:16, I'm going to suggest leaving Gen 17:7 as it reads and go to verse 19 for the comparison with Gal 3:18. Verse 19 deals with the covenant established with Sarah and Abraham and their son Isaac. That verse has the promise of God in Christ, when Abraham has been told that they will have a son. Genesis 17:18ff, "And Abraham said to God, "Oh that Ishmael might live before Thee!" But **God said, "No, but Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his descendents [Lit. seed] after him." Galatians 3:16-18, NKJ, "Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "And to your Seed," who is Christ. And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in **Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise." The **stars are for comparisons. The Seed should come to whom the promise had been made. But remember that God is one. Galatians 3:19,20. From the heart, Ray |
