“For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.” Galatians 3:18
Attaining Christ by His promise!
Thousands of years ago God made a promise to you and me. This promise was made to Abraham for all those who want to live with God.
The promise is the favor of God will come to those by faith. It cannot be attained by works or laws.
Your faith in Christ will bring His promises into your life. Nothing can be added or amended to this promise from God.
God never changes and this promise is eternal. If you want the favor of God, you must accept Him by faith. God wants your obedience and loyalty. Nothing else really matters.
Abraham heard the voice of God and obeyed the instructions of the Lord. Abraham had no idea what was ahead for him. He was asked to give up his security and venture into uncharted waters.
Abraham was no different than you and me. He was a mere mortal filled with many character defects and fearful over his future.
The deciding difference in Abraham is he believed God without understanding Him or questioning His logic.
Abraham made a decision; He is God and who am I to doubt His authority. He obeyed God.
So Abraham walked by faith and accepted the promise of Christ.
This is the essence of attaining the promises of Christ. They come you by faith. Nothing else matters.
Build your life on the promises of God. Walk by faith when Christ calls you to step out of your comfort zone.
He is God and there is no one like Him!
