Today I have been reading in Romans 8 and Romans 9 about the "children of the promise". These verses are Galatians 4:28 ("Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise") and Romans 9:8 ("it is the children of the promise who are regarded as offspring"), distinguishing believers born by God's promise (like Isaac) from physical lineage (like Ishmael), signifying spiritual inheritance through faith in Christ, not just bloodline, as explained in Paul's allegory of Sarah (promise) and Hagar (law) in Galatians 4:21-31.

Key Verses & Meaning
Galatians 4:28: "Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise."
Meaning: Paul tells Gentile and Jewish Christians that they are spiritual children of Abraham, just as Isaac was born miraculously by God's promise, not human effort.
�Romans 9:8: "So it is not the children of the flesh who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as offspring."
Meaning: This verse emphasizes that true spiritual lineage comes through God's promise (faith in Christ) rather than mere physical descent from Abraham.
�Galatians 4:22-23: Paul uses Hagar (slave woman, representing law) and Sarah (free woman, representing promise) to illustrate this.

Meaning: Just as Ishmael (Hagar's son) was born by human plotting and persecuted Isaac, those under the law (flesh) are contrasted with the spiritual children born from God's promise (like believers in Christ).
�In essence, being a "child of the promise" means:
Being born spiritually into God's family through faith in Jesus.
Receiving God's spiritual inheritance and freedom, not just physical heritage.
Being counted as true spiritual descendants of Abraham, alongside Jewish and Gentile believers.

This makes me think about how many of us have relied upon our own works and efforts rather that the works of the Spirit -

So many in the body have been so caught up in works rather than resting in the faith that brought them into the Kingdom in the first place.

If you have been in a season of striving, I would like to encourage you to return to the place where you can rest in God.

“Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬-‭22‬, ‭24‬-‭26‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared right

As shared on Sunday morning, Cheshvan is a time of change, renewed expectations, and the new anointing. For tonight’s webcast, we want to replay the message the Lord gave Chuck for this month. When the Lord provides us a moment in time to establish our course for the season ahead, we want to ponder and meditate on what He’s communicating so we fully align with His cycle of blessing.

Join online at 7 PM CDT and rejoice in the firstfruits of change!
