And in that seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed. We have in previous posts endeavoured to unveil who or what exactly what the "seed" is. It would appear our presentation previously offered fell short of our intended hope, or possibly an alternative viewpoint was/is so seated in the minds of others that they built a nest in their heads. So once again we enter the fray, not that God is in need of anyone defending Him.
The ark of the covenant is in no need of man’s defense, but the Word of God has been commissioned to us, by our commander in chief to be preached to one and all. This is our purpose. To provide people from all walks of life with a comprehensive understanding of the scriptures so that others are not able to present alternative viewpoints that are not scripturally accurate.
In the new Testament, there is neither Jew nor Gentile, male nor female, bond or free. We are all one in Jesus the Christ. God in His mercy has opened to all men and women, in all generations, a way whereby the downtrodden, the castaway, the wounded, the sick, the diseased, the heart broken, the beaten, the tortured can be made whole again. Renewed. God in His mercy reached out to ALL peoples in whatever state or condition they may be in at this moment. I have good news for you. Whether this is approved or not by some political gainsayer, you are approved and affirmed by none other than the God who made you and loves you.
God who is invisible, manifested Himself in the flesh for you. He left His heaven and came to earth purposely to deliver a salvation message directly and personally to you. God is not a statue that cannot move or a carved stone that has no feelings! It may be a work of art, but when one is at the bottom of the pile, the last thing that he or she requires is a statue of stone or a statue on a cross, all of which are totally incapable of doing anything!
The Word of God on the other hand, which indwelt the man Jesus the Christ, said,- "Come to Me all ye who are burdened ... all ye who have had enough of the curse of the law of sin and death. And I WILL GIVE YOU REST."
Now that is an approved message endorsed by God! Some say that the Jews are Abraham's seed. His offspring according to the flesh. They even go so far to say that they are God’s children. But that is not so. All living people are Adam’s offspring, and are cursed not blessed. Oh, you say they are Abraham’s seed and in Abraham seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed. Let's review this claim in relation to the scriptures - God's Word.
When God spoke to Abraham saying, that in Abraham and in His seed all the nations of the earth would be blessed, God was not speaking of Abraham's natural seed, which was imbued with the curse of sin. God was addressing an implanted seed which was to move along through the generations as recorded in previous presentations. Until the seeds of promise were implanted of God into Eve and then into Abraham, those seeds of promise being the seeds of the Holy Spirit of God -- the Holy Spirit blood was in those seeds -- not Adam's cursed blood (i.e Jesus the only Begotten Son of God).
God Himself manifest in a sin prone body, clothed in flesh taken from a surrogate Mary’s sin cursed body. The fetus in that body did not sin. Therefore, you and I can transfer all our sin and sickness to Jesus for He Himself took all your sin and sickness upon Himself. As a consequence, you are now free to be God Blessed! God can now bless you, not because you are Abraham's seed but because you have received Jesus into your life - the same Jesus who is the Seed of the Spirit of God!
Stand in the offering plate.
