~ Child of Disobedience or Child of Abraham ~
Series Comment ~ A person can be a child of their
mother, but also a child of their father.
They may also have adopted parents.
They may also be a child of incest or a child of other “parents” – in
this series we look at Biblical descriptions of various “parents.”
Scripture
1 ~ “Therefore
put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness,
passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is
coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once
walked when you lived in them” (Colossians 3:5-7).
Scripture
2 ~ “Therefore
He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it
by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? — just as Abraham
‘believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.’ Therefore know that only those who are of
faith are sons of Abraham. And
the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith,
preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, ‘In you all the nations
shall be blessed.’ So then those who are
of faith are blessed with believing Abraham” (Galatians 3:5-9).
