CHILDREN OF THE COVENANT
Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant
which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all
the kindreds of the earth be blessed (Acts 3:25).
There’re Christians who say they have a covenant with God.
They teach that since God made a covenant with Abraham, and we’re Abraham’s
seed, we’re therefore automatically in covenant with God. But no; the Christian
isn’t in covenant with God. You need to know who the Christian is; he’s one
with Christ; he’s an associate of the God-kind. Abraham had a covenant with
God, but we’re not in that covenant. Who are we? We’re children of the
covenant.
We’re heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ. Galatians
3:26-29 says, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For
as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is
neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male
nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are
ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
In a marriage relationship, for example, the couple sign a
nuptial agreement and come into a covenant. That covenant, however, doesn’t
involve their children. The children from that marriage would be the products
or fruits of the covenant. Read our opening verse again, it’s clear: we’re
children of the covenant that God made with Abraham and the patriarchs.
Many have written books on our covenant with God, but the
danger of this misleading belief is that it places the Christian in a position
below his calling and birthright. Our relationship with God is one of father
and his children. Blessed thought! How wonderful to know that we’re heirs of
God and joint-heirs with Christ. We’re children of the covenant! We own the
world and we walk in divine excellence. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
All things are mine; I have everything that I require for
life and godliness, because I’m an heir of God, and a joint-heir with Christ.
I’m rich in all things because God has caused His grace to abound towards me to
be superabundantly supplied, exceedingly fruitful and productive in every good
work. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: || Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit itself beareth
witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children,
then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer
with [him], that we may be also glorified together. ||
|| 2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and
precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. ||
|| Acts 3:25 AMPC You are the descendants (sons) of the
prophets and the heirs of the covenant which God made and gave to your
forefathers, saying to Abraham, And in your Seed (Heir) shall all the families
of the earth be blessed and benefited. ||
