Then Are Ye Abraham’s Seed (Galatians 3:28-29)

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Galatians 3:28-29)

There is much obsession among many church traditions about the Jewish nation, and that they are this separate entity out there. However, that distinction between the Jewish and the non-Jewish has been dissolved in Jesus Christ. “For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us” (Ephesians 2:14). The promises that were given to Abraham apply to his Seed as well. “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ” (Galatians 3:16).

We belong to Christ. All the promises involving Him are ours also. It does not matter about our lineage: “Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions” (1 Timothy 1:4). If you believe in Jesus Christ, “then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” There are no second-class citizens. We are “all one in Christ Jesus.”
