I always get confused when someone starts talking about their family tree. Mostly because each parent has parents yet when someone follows a family tree they usually research only one side of the family. But what about everyone else?
Well, here is the short version of "my family tree". By faith, I am part of the family of Abraham.
Gen 22:15-19 15 Then the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, 16 and said, "By Myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18 "In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice." 19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham lived at Beersheba.
NASU
Gal 3:8-9 8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU." 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer.
NASU
So are you part of the family of Abraham? You can be, simply by receiving Jesus Christ as Saviour. Why not do that today?
