Children of Abraham

Children of Abraham

Galatians 3:1-5 Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified? 2 I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh? 4 Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain? 5 He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

Peter said, Christ "Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear." (Peter at Pentecost, Acts 2:33). "And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, 'Abba, Father!'" (Galatians 4:6)

Galatians 3:6-8 Even as Abraham "believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness." 7 Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children of Abraham. 8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you all the nations will be blessed."

Genesis 12:3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. All of the families of the earth will be blessed in you."
Genesis 18:17 Yahweh said, "Will I hide from Abraham what I do, 18 since Abraham has surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?
Genesis 22:18 In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."

Galatians 3:9-10 So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham. 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who doesn't continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them."

Deuteronomy 27:26 ‘Cursed is he who doesn't confirm the words of this law to do them.' All the people shall say, ‘Amen.'"

Galatians 3:11 Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, "The righteous will live by faith."

Habakkuk 2:4 Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.

Galatians 3:12 The law is not of faith, but, "The man who does them will live by them."

Leviticus 18:5 You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances; which if a man does, he shall live in them: I am Yahweh.

Desiring to live by every word that comes from the mouth of Jehovah (Deut8:3; Matt4:4)
