"And if ye are Christ`s, then are ye Abraham`s seed, heirs according to promise." — Galatians 3:29 (ASV)
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
So that all the blessings which God promised to Abraham belong to you who are believers in Christ, and you may take them, and rejoice in them; but if you are without faith in Christ, then are you without the one essential thing which gives you an interest in the covenant of grace.
And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
According to the promise, – not according to your works, or your deserts, but heirs according to the promise.
But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what saith the scripture?
Make a compromise, and be friends? Let Isaac and Ishmael live in the same house, and lie in the same bed? No!
