Bible Reading: Song of Solomon 4, 5; Galatians 3
“And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed and heir according to the promise” – Galatians 3: 29 (KJV)
There are the natural seeds of Abraham. These are seeds of Abraham by birth. The Jews are known as the children or seed of Abraham. There are spiritual seeds of Abraham. While the natural seeds of Abraham are linked to the promised seed Isaac, the spiritual seeds of Abraham are linked to the promised seed Jesus Christ.
When God promised Abraham a seed, He ultimately pointed to Jesus Christ. Isaac was only a temporary fulfillment of that promise. The ultimate fulfillment of that promise is Christ. When a person is born again, he becomes a spiritual seed of Abraham through Christ; he becomes heir of God and joint heir with Christ.
In Christ, the Gentiles become the partakers of the blessing of Abraham. The blessings of Abraham are not just the physical blessings like money and material things but spiritual blessings and the heritage of belonging to God’s family.
PRAYER: Thank you Jesus for making me Abraham’s seed.
