Children of Promise

Lord, through Your Son, we have become Your children of promise.
Gal.4:28 Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.
Romans 9:8 This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring.
Not by lineage but because we are born again believers in faith that salvation is through Christ alone!
Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
It is a precious gift!
Romans 4:16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring--not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
Romans 3:22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference
A gift through mercy!
Romans 9:14-16 What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.
Awesome God in heaven, forgive us. We want You, we want to share You, we fall before Your throne of grace and ask for Your blessings to teach Your truth to the world. Amen
