01/20/2024: Galatians 3:26-29 – Welcome to the family of God in Christ.

 

Thought for today – Welcome to the family of God in Christ.

Paul made three very important declarations about our faith in these verses using the simple verb “you are.”  In Christ, we are “sons of God” (v. 26), “all one in Christ” (v. 28), and “Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise” (v. 29).  In faith, we are all family with the same lineage of God through Abraham.  The distinctions that separate and by which we identify ourselves and others on this earth have all been swept away, so that we are equally Christ’s and all the seed of Abraham, but more than that we are equally heirs of God according to His promise.  Christ is ours and heaven too!  O, my soul, rejoice!

That’s what the Book says!
