“Abraham ‘believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.’
Therefore, know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.
So, then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
‘The just shall live by faith.’
We receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
The law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” [1]
Faith in God is the link between us and Him. The law points to our need to receive righteousness from God to be in a right standing with God. All that came before Christ was to prepare for us His arrival, and then, to be heirs of His heavenly kingdom.
[1] Galatians 3:6-7,9 11, 14, 24, 26, 29
