Charles Spurgeon Commentary Galatians 3:16

"Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ." — Galatians 3:16 (ASV)

Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

There are times, for all God's servants, when certain people proclaim something fresh and new in doctrine; and then the old messenger of God, who had been a blessing to them, comes to be despised.

I have lived long enough to see dozens of very fine fancies started, but they have all come to nothing; I dare say I will see a dozen more, and they will all come to nothing. But here I stand; I am not led astray either by novelties of excitement or novelties of doctrine.

The things that I preached at first, I still preach, and so I will continue, as God will help me. But I know, in some little measure, what the apostle meant when he said, Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Quoting from the Old Testament, we may believe in the absolute plenary inspiration of that Sacred Book, because the apostle founds an argument upon the singular of a noun having been used rather than the plural.
