“Nevertheless, what does the Scripture say? ‘Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.’ So then, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman but of the free woman.” Galatians 4:30-31
As Ishmael, Abraham’s son of Hagar, the slave woman, did not inherit with Isaac, the son of Abraham by Sarah, but was cast out, so will those who are flesh descendants of Abraham but not of Abraham’s faith be cast out and not inherit the promises. Only those who trust in Jesus Christ, the Offspring of Abraham who atoned for the sins of all, will inherit the promise of forgiveness and eternal life.
Grant that I trust in You alone, O Christ, that I might receive Your pardon and inherit the eternal joys of heaven. Amen.
