Abraham’s Seed and the Promise

God promised Abraham the land, and that his Seed should "possess the gate of His enemies." Gen. 22:17, 18. Paul says that this promise included the world (Rom. 4:13), and that the Seed through whom the promise is to be fulfilled is Christ. Gal. 3:16. And, more precious than all this, the seed is not confined to our Lord, or to Him and the Jewish people; but "if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." Gal. 3:29. And Christ declares that "whosoever will may come."
