In our ninth message on Galatians, we look at chapter four verses 21 through 31.  Here, the Apostle Paul uses a real-world example from the Old Testament to explain a spiritual reality. Not all of the physical children of Abraham were part God’s promise to him. The promise God made would only be fulfilled through Issac even though Abraham had a second male child named Ishmael. Just like not all of Abraham’s physical decedents were included in the promise God made, not all of the physical children of Issac are spiritual children of Abraham. The true spiritual children of Abraham are those who have been saved through faith in Jesus Christ, Jew or Gentile.
