In this episode we begin to ask why Christianity as it is currently practiced doesn't work, and begin to explore how Christ as the seed of Abraham is the solution. The post Christ the Seed of Abraham Part 1 – Essential Faith #6 first appeared on Faith Recovery Podcast.
Scripture: Hebrews 11:17-19 Series: "Don't Shrink Back" Some early Christians were shrinking back from following Jesus amidst persecution. So, the author of Hebrews encouraged them to endure and remain faithful to Christ by offering a collection of Old Testament witnesses. If God did amazing things through their faith, why would we ever shrink back from our own? Focus: Do you have the faith to trust God with what is most precious to you?

This means that the 7 distinct ‘separations' he experienced in the ‘flesh' represent 7 distinct separations we will experience in the ‘spirit'. Do you know what they are?“The life of Abraham, as recorded in Genesis, is not just an obsolete narrative of something which happened in the far distant past. It is a portrayal of the experiences of Abraham's children through the ages; a description of how God deals with his own in all time.”Arthur W. PinkWe hope you can be with us this weekend for Part 2 of Pastor Ray's message: “The 7 Separations of Abraham”
Abram Becomes Abraham: The Supreme Test of Faith takes you on a journey through one of the most pivotal transformations in all of Scripture.

And finally, to the supreme test of faith when Abraham was called to offer his beloved son Isaac as a sacrifice to God. This is the story of a man refined by God's hand and prepared to become the father of nations.Drawing from Genesis 16–22, Jubilees 16–18, and Jasher 17–23, this episode uncovers powerful details often overlooked. The laughter of doubt that turned into the laughter of joy, the fiery destruction of Sodom as a warning to the world, the separation between flesh and spirit in Ishmael and Isaac, and the heart-wrenching ascent up Mount Moriah where God Himself provided the substitute sacrifice. Every step reveals the prophetic foreshadowing of Christ, the Lamb of God, and every moment speaks to the believer's call to walk in faith and obedience today.This is not just a historical retelling. It is a prophetic reminder. The struggle between Ishmael and Isaac points directly to today's Middle East conflict. The sins of Sodom mirror the moral collapse of our modern culture. And Abraham's willingness to give up his only son foreshadows the Father's love in offering His Son for our redemption.In a world facing tests of loyalty, obedience, and faith. Abraham's journey reminds us that God's promises are sure, His timing is perfect, and His provision is certain. The God who provided a ram on Mount Moriah is the same God who has provided salvation through Christ. And the same God who calls His people today to live by faith, not by sight.For more information, visit www.lastchristian.net

In Genesis 13, Abraham and Lot faced a land dispute that threatened their relationship. Rather than asserting his authority, Abraham generously offered Lot first choice of the land. Lot chose what appeared to be the better portion near Sodom, not realizing the spiritual danger. This story teaches us three key lessons: to beware of deceptive appearances that might lead us away from God, to prioritize peace in our relationships as Abraham did, and to trust that God's promises remain valid despite our failures. Abraham's example challenges us to choose generosity and faith even when it costs us.
In Genesis 12:10-20, Abraham faces a severe famine and chooses to seek refuge in Egypt rather than trust God's promises. Fearing for his life, he deceives Pharaoh by claiming Sarah is his sister, leading to her being taken into Pharaoh's household. When God afflicts Pharaoh with diseases, the truth emerges, and Abraham is sent away with wealth despite his deception. This story reveals Abraham's failures of doubt, deception, and bringing harm instead of blessing, yet also demonstrates God's unfailing reliability, redirection, and mercy. Like Abraham, we often trust in our own 'Egypts' rather than God, but He remains faithful to His promises despite our shortcomings.

You're asked to locate the Gospels in the Bible. Completely understandable that you're going to immediately head to the start of the New Testament. But are you familiar with the Gospel of Abraham? We'll look for it in today's study. Galatians 3:6-9 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Once DNA testing became commonly available, many jumped in to explore their roots. “Today” became far more interesting when connected to “yesterday.” Is there an equivalent with the Bible? Is the common sense of detachment we may feel from Old Testament characters justified, or is there in fact an ancestral connection? We'll check out the family tree in this study.

Send us a textThe question of who truly belongs to Abraham's family strikes at the very heart of Christian identity. In this provocative exploration of Galatians 3, we confront Paul's revolutionary declaration: "They which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham."This statement upends centuries of ethnic and religious assumptions. While many Jews in Jesus' time boasted "Abraham is our father," Paul boldly redefines family lines according to faith rather than flesh. The implications are staggering—God doesn't maintain exclusive relationships with any people group based on ethnicity, geography, or heritage. His only concern is with those who share Abraham's faith.We examine why Paul called the Galatians "foolish" for being "bewitched" into adding works to the gospel of grace. The seductive pull toward law-keeping continues today among Christians who believe Torah observance draws them closer to God. Paul's response is unequivocal: attempting to mix works with grace doesn't enhance salvation; it contaminates it entirely.The ancient shadows of sacrifice, circumcision, and temple ritual were never meant to stand alone. They pointed to their substance—Christ himself. When Jesus declared at Passover, "Do this in remembrance of me," he connected the dots between shadow and substance, revealing himself as the fulfillment of all Old Testament types.This teaching remains controversial precisely because it's so radical. It explains why those clinging to ethnic or religious exclusivity—whether ancient Jews or modern dispensationalists—find Paul's gospel offensive. By declaring faith alone as the pathway to becoming Abraham's children, he dismantles every human attempt to establish special standing with God through lineage, geography, or law-keeping efforts.Want to understand why grace and faith stand at the center of authentic Christianity? Listen as we unpack this profound truth that continues to challenge and transform those who embrace it.Support the show
Send us a textHave you ever considered that the Greek word for "witness" in Scripture literally means "martyr"? This revelation frames our entire understanding of what it means to follow Christ.Modern Christianity, particularly in the West, has developed a dangerous aversion to suffering. Many believers embrace a false narrative that God intends to extract His people from worldly trials rather than empower them through difficulties. This escapist theology directly contradicts Scripture's consistent message: "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all."We explore how comfortable American Christians often have no concept of true lordship or martyrdom. Having never lived under monarchy or oppression, we've crafted a version of faith that demands little sacrifice and promises much comfort. Meanwhile, our brothers and sisters in places like the Democratic Republic of Congo face deadly persecution, with dozens recently martyred for their faith.The discussion challenges believers to reconsider how they use their platforms. Everything in this world belongs to God and can be deployed for His glory - including social media. Rather than condemning these spaces or using them inappropriately, Christians should leverage every available channel to spread truth.Perhaps most powerfully, we examine the true meaning of Christian fellowship. Through Galatians 3, we see that all believers are spiritual siblings - children of Abraham through faith. This reality should transform our disagreements from relationship-ending conflicts into opportunities for iron to sharpen iron.The central hope that empowers us through suffering remains the resurrection - our confidence that whatever happens to our physical bodies, we will be raised again in glory. This perspective allows us to face trials with courage rather than seeking escape routes.Will you stand in the gap as giants of faith like R.C. Sproul and others go to their reward? The call is clear: stop seeking comfort and start embracing your identity as a witness willing to suffer for truth.Support the show
Send us a textWhat happens when allegiance to political figures outshines our devotion to Christ? This provocative exploration of Christian unity challenges us to reconsider where our true loyalties lie.The conversation opens with a stark observation: many Christians today show more passionate allegiance to political leaders than to Christ Himself. Relationships between believers are severed over political differences while our eternal bonds through Christ are forgotten. As one speaker asks, "Why aren't Christians that rabid when it comes to the one who saved them?"Diving into Galatians 3:8, we discover the beautiful continuity of God's plan throughout history. From Abraham to present day, salvation has always come through the same gospel of faith. This scripture, described as "a masterpiece," reveals how God intended from the beginning to justify people from all nations through faith in Christ. As Abraham became "father of many nations," we see God's heart for a diverse family united through belief.The discussion takes an illuminating turn when addressing commonly misunderstood concepts like the "mark of the beast." Rather than physical interpretations, the speakers present a deeper spiritual understanding – how our thoughts (forehead) and actions (hands) demonstrate whom we truly worship. Similarly, believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit, marking divine ownership.What makes any nation truly "great"? Not economic power or military might, but the freedom to worship God without hindrance. As we navigate divisive times, remember: we are "inextricably linked to one another. Eternally." Our spiritual connections transcend all earthly divisions.Ready to strengthen your faith perspective? Listen now and join a conversation that will transform how you view your spiritual family, regardless of national borders or political differences.Support the show
Send us a textAbraham's faith came before circumcision, before the Jewish identity was established—a critical insight that reshapes how we understand salvation. This revelation forms the foundation of our discussion as we explore what it truly means to be justified by faith alone.We dive into the radical nature of God's grace, examining why humans persistently try to insert themselves into the salvation equation. "What part of 'not of yourself' do people not understand?" one participant challenges, highlighting our natural resistance to accepting salvation as entirely God's work. This tendency traces back to our fallen nature—the desire to "be like God" that began in Eden.The metaphor of sheep and goats provides a powerful illustration of divine election. Christ's sheep hear his voice and follow him not because they've made a wise decision, but because they belong to him. As one speaker notes, "Not a single soul that the Father gave to Christ will He fail to bring home." This truth offers profound security while acknowledging God's sovereignty in salvation.Perhaps most sobering is our examination of Christ's words, "I never knew you." These may be the most terrifying words anyone could hear, revealing that salvation isn't primarily about our knowledge of God but about being known by Him. Those truly saved are those Christ has always known as His own.We conclude with the beautiful doctrine of justification—how Christ's perfect obedience is credited to believers. Through faith, we receive his righteousness as if it were our own. Like Abraham, who trusted God despite seemingly impossible circumstances, we're called to a faith that looks beyond present limitations to the God who always fulfills His promises.Ready to deepen your understanding of salvation by grace through faith?

Send us a textDive into the profound simplicity of justification by faith alone through our exploration of Galatians 3:6-9. This rich discussion uncovers how righteousness works - not as something we achieve, but as something credited to our account when we believe God, just as Abraham did thousands of years ago.The conversation begins with a powerful premise: God wasn't trying to confuse anyone with His gospel. Instead, He gave us a wonderfully simple message that many unnecessarily complicate. We explore how Paul emphatically teaches that justification comes by faith alone - not by works of any kind, whether civil, moral, or ceremonial laws.What does it mean to be children of Abraham? We tackle this revolutionary concept that redefines spiritual lineage. True children of Abraham aren't determined by genetics or ritual circumcision, but by sharing Abraham's faith. This spiritual family transcends all physical barriers, allowing people from every nation to become part of God's covenant through faith alone.Perhaps most striking is the revelation that there has only ever been one gospel throughout history. Abraham was justified through faith in God's promise of a coming Messiah, while we look back to Christ's completed work - but the mechanism of salvation remains identical. Abraham participated in the new covenant by anticipation, justified by faith in the certainty of Christ's future atonement.Ready to embrace the beautiful simplicity of salvation by faith? Join us as we unpack how understanding justification by faith alone frees us from the impossible burden of self-righteousness and releases us into the joy of living by faith in Christ alone.Support the show
