The Abrahamic Covenant (5 of 5 notes)

Part Two
Bibliology: 14 THE COVENANTS OF SCRIPTURE
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

Believers are called children of Abraham simply because they follow Abraham’s faith and are justified in the same way that he was, apart from works. They are not his children in the sense of becoming heirs to the specific covenant blessing promised to Abraham, which, as we have seen, was mainly concerned with the promised land. And further, the Apostle makes it plain that we today are Abraham’s seed by virtue of our having been baptized into Christ, who, Himself, is Abraham’s Seed. Since the land of Canaan was unconditionally guaranteed as the possession of Abraham’s natural seed, we must believe that God will yet fulfill that promise in the future millennial kingdom.
