DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Children of Promise
Romans 9:6-8
"But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, nor are they children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, 'In Isaac your seed shall be called.' That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed."
I am a child of God, not by natural birth or lineage, but by spiritual birth (John 3:5-7). I am born into God's family by the Holy Spirit. God said to Abraham, "In you all the families of the earths shall be blessed" (Genesis 12:3), looking forward to Christ. This is the promise that makes room for me, a Gentile, to be a child of God. I am a child of the promise through Jesus.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: It is spiritual birth, not physical birth or lineage, that makes one a child of God.
Have a promise day. Love you.
