An Unchangeable Promise?

'Ready Answer' by Craig Sablich

The promise God made to Abraham extends directly to Christ as the one Seed, establishing Him as the true Heir through whom the entire covenant finds its fulfillment. Because the original covenant was confirmed by God alone and remains unchangeable, Christ serves as its Mediator, receiving the eternal inheritance first as the Firstborn and thereby securing it for others. Those who belong to Christ through repentance, baptism, and the gift of God's Spirit become Abraham's seed in Him and thus heirs according to the promise, sharing the same everlasting relationship with God that includes both the physical land and the spiritual blessing to all nations. This inheritance rests on faith modeled after Abraham's belief, which God accounted as righteousness, and produces the obedience that flows from genuine trust rather than any attempt to earn salvation through law-keeping. As children of God and joint heirs with Christ, believers hold the promise of eternal life that will reach its complete reality when God establishes His Kingdom on earth at Christ's return, at which time those who overcome will inherit all things and enjoy unbroken fellowship with Him forever.

The Covenants, Grace, and Law (Part Twenty-Seven)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The New Covenant, which writes God's law onto the heart, in no way does away with any aspect of the law. Works do not justify us, they sanctify us.

The Israel of God

Article by Charles Whitaker

Paul refers to the church as 'the Israel of God.' Why not 'the Judah of God'? Why did God not inspire Paul to call the church "the Jacob of God"?

Acts (Part Five)
