Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ. (Galatians 3:16 ESV)
In Christ Alone
I once worked for a company that was owned by some self-professed wealthy elite. These were high rollers, who were movers and shakers. And as long as I worked for them, I had the opportunity to roll high, move, and shake, too.
I did not take the opportunity all that often…
But after I left that job, I was no longer even potentially welcome in that group.
The men no longer answered my (rare) phone calls… and if facebook was around, they would have unfriended me.
THEY were my contact with the ‘in’ group.
Christians sometimes forget that it is Christ, and Christ alone, who gives us access to the Father, a relationship with the Spirit, and entrance into heaven.
God’s promises were to Abraham and his offspring, the Messiah. And we get to tag along when we cling to Him.
We like to elevate ourselves. But not yet. Until we are Glorified, we are ‘in’ only because of Jesus.
