We’re Of The Same Family
And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed,
and heirs according to the promise
(Galatians 3:29).
God chose to identify Himself in the Scriptures,
not as the God of all men but, as the God
of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In Exodus 3:15, He told
Moses, “…say unto the children of Israel, The LORD
God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God
of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto
you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial
unto all generations.” He let Moses know that the
revelation of Himself that He gave to those men would
be the foundation for their relationship.
You may call Him the God of Elijah; that’s okay; He
indeed blessed Elijah and wrought many great works
through Elijah, but He never introduced Himself as the
God of Elijah. You may call Him the God of Moses,
Joshua or Samuel, but He never introduced Himself
as such. He identified Himself with Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob.
You might say, “Well, it’s a family thing: father,
son and grandson.” Yes, but the beautiful part is that
we belong to that same family. We’re connected
to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You’re connected to
the most sublime, prosperous, wealthy, and blessed
family that ever existed. Galatians 3:16 says, “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.”
Notice that God didn’t say “seeds,” referring to a
plurality of seed, but “seed,” referring to Christ. And
the Bible says, “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye
Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise”
(Galatians 3:29). We belong to Christ. We’re in Christ.
Moreover, Romans 8:17 says we’re joint-heirs with
Christ, who is the heir of all things and beneficiary of
the Abrahamic blessings.
We’re of the same stock; from the same lineage
and family tree. Not only has God identified Himself
with us, He’s brought us into oneness with Himself.
We’re in union with Him. We’re bearers of His Name,
partakers of His divine nature, and carriers of His
glory.
Confession
I’m the seed of Abraham and
therefore an heir according to
the promise. I belong to the
wealthiest and most sublime
family there is, and I walk in
blessings untold. I’m empowered
to prosper, and positioned to be
fruitful and productive, glorifying
God with my life, in the Name of
Jesus. Amen.
