4. Figure #4 – Paul’s Declaration
God saves by faith – from the start
In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice. (Gen. 22:18) Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed He does not say, "And to seeds," as referring to many, but rather to one, " And to your seed," that is, Christ. (Gal. 3:16)
Abraham was made righteous by faith (Gen. 15:6)
Non-Jews could come to relationship with God by faith in Christ – without apology.
