Abraham’s seed is Christ.
Galatians 3:15-17
15Brothers, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. 16The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ. 17What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise
The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established.
Galatians 3:28-29
28There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
If you belong to Christ you are Abraham’s seed. If you do not belong to Christ you are not Abraham’s seed. It doesn’t matter, if you are Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female, if you belong to Christ you are Abraham’s seed and if you do not belong to Christ you are not Abraham’s seed.
Romans 8:2
2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
Galatians 5:22-24
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.
We are not under law but grace.
Abraham’s seed is Christ and those who belong to Christ. They are The people of God, a a royal priesthood and a holy nation.
The Church is Israel. The Church isn’t ‘spiritual’ Israel. The Church is Israel. The church is the people of Israel. The church wrestles with God. The scribes and Pharisees wrestled against God and not with God. Israel was The Church and The Church is Israel. Israel is Abraham’s seed and Abraham’s seed is Christ and those who belong to him. We have come to Zion.
It doesn’t matter, if you are Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female, if you belong to Christ you are Abraham’s seed.
It doesn’t matter, if you are Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female, if you belong to Christ all the blessings of Abraham are yours.
It doesn’t matter, if you are Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female, if you belong to Christ as Abraham was Gods friend you are Gods friend.
It doesn’t matter, if you are Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female, if you belong to Christ you can minister for Christ.
It doesn’t matter, if you are Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female, if you belong to Christ you are of Israel.
It doesn’t matter, if you are Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female, if you belong to Christ you are among Gods chosen.
Israel as a nation is not lost. Israel is The Church and The Church is Israel.
Christian Zionists claim that The Church is spiritual Israel stuff, I don’t know where they get that idea from.
Israel was The Church and The Church is Israel.
The Church is Abraham’s seed and heirs to the promise.
The Church is the bride of Christ. Christ is the bishop of our souls. The Bible says that a bishop must be a man of but one wife because Christ is a man of but one wife The Church. The Church is called The Bride of Christ, not A bride but THE bride.
The covenant is with Abraham and Abraham’s seed which is Christ. We belong to Christ because of Covenant.
God is The Faithful Husband.
Some Dispensationalists speak against Covenant Theology and obviously are clueless about what they speak against because they then have a wedding feast in the middle of their eschatology.
My wife and I just have a contract apparently.
Hebrews 8:13By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.-
Because the old covenant is obsolete The church is Israel and Israel was The Church
Because the old Covenant is obsolete we are no longer under law but grace.
The problem is, some people either don’t understand covenant or they would rather exchange grace for legalistic nonsense.
