The Seed
Preach the Truth Series from Galatians By Apostle Aje Pelser, Harvester Reformational Church, Cape Town
Scripture
Gal 3:15 Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man’s covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it.
Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “AND TO YOUR SEED,” who is Christ.
Gal 3:17 And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect.
Gal 3:18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

The processions towards our Promise in Christ
1. The covenant of our faith stands by a promise.
2. The promise is to the receiver of faith and his Seed.
3. The Seed is Jesus Christ.
4. The Seed fulfils the Law and obtained the Promise before the Law was given.
5. We access the inheritance by faith in the Promise of God through the Seed.

Further reading to strengthen your faith in the promises of God:
Heb 6:17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath,
Heb 6:18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.
Heb 6:19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil,
Heb 6:20 where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Yes and Amen – 2Co 1:20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
2Co 1:21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,
2Co 1:22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

Who to imitate – Heb_6:12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Order of Melchizedek – Heb_7:6 but he whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
Jesus the Mediator – Heb_8:6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
Born Again of incorruptible Seed – 1Pe 1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever,
