The heir of the world

"For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith." (Rom 4:13)

Do those who live by the law receive the promise? If they do, faith would have no value. God's promise would be worthless. The law brings God's anger. Where there is no law, there is no sin. The promise is based on God's grace. The promise comes by faith. All of Abraham's seed will certainly receive the promise... (Rom 4:14-16) Are you of faith or of the law? Are you the son of the promise or the son of the flesh? Are you Isaac or Ishmael? Are you living by the tree of life or by the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Do not harden your heart and the Lord will show you. Hear Him!
