The Seed is Christ

In the book of Galatians the Apostle Paul is using as many convincing arguments as he can, with the people in the churches of Galatia, to persuade them that justification is in no way by the works of the law. He has told them before that “as many as are under the works of the law are under a curse”. He has told them that they did not receive the Spirit of God by the works of the law, but rather by the hearing of faith. In these verses he is speaking of Abraham’s salvation in terms of a covenant which God made with Abraham and His Seed. That covenant was made with Abraham in the form of promises of what God Himself would do for Him and His Seed, not what he would do for God. This is what we want to think about this afternoon. 1st of all, we want to look at the covenant made with the man Abraham. Then 2nd - We want to look at the covenant made with the Seed, our Lord Jesus Christ.
