His Spirit (the Holy Spirit).
3) God works miracles in our gatherings, because we
believe the Gospel; we believe that He can.
4) Like Abraham, we are made right with God because
we believe; because we have faith.
5) The real children of Abraham are those who have
faith (that believe).
6) All that believe are blessed just as Abraham was
blessed.
7) Following all the Old Testament laws doesn’t
make us right with God; we live and are made right with God because we trust
Him.
8) Jesus Christ removed the curse that was on us; He put
Himself under the curse to deliver us from the curse.
9) Jesus Christ removed the curse, so that God’s blessing promised
to Abraham might come through Jesus Christ to those who are not Jews. Jesus
died so that by our believing we could receive the Holy Spirit that God promised.
10) An agreement made between two persons is firm.
After that agreement is accepted by both people, no one can stop it or add
anything to it.
11) God made promises both to Abraham and to "his
descendant." God did not say, “and to your descendants.“ That would mean many
people. However, God said, “and to your descendant.“ That means only one person;
that person is Jesus Christ.
12) All that are "in Christ" (all that believe and receive Him) receive the blessing and become "heirs of the promise."
