God’s Word Stands Unbroken

Rom. 9:6-13

God promised Abraham “and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed” and “for an everlasting covenant to be God to you and your descendants after you”. One would wonder was God’s promise not broken when many of the Israelites refused to accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour, thus missing the blessing of eternal life? However, when God gave the promise, He had in mind  those who were spiritual descendants of Abraham. Those who are physical descendants, but who refuse to have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, are counted out of Abraham’s descendants who have access to the promises given to Abraham. Those who are Gentiles, but who believe in Jesus are included in the spiritual descendants of Abraham, and, therefore, have access to the promises and the covenants. To be included in this family, one has to abide in Christ. God knows those who are His (2 Tim. 2:19).

Point of Emphasis:   Therefore, know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham (Gal. 3:7).

Prayer Point:            Cast me not away from Your presence, O God, and take not Your Holy Spirit from me.
