Through Abraham All Have Received the Promise.

All have sinned.  I read something the other day that jumped out at me. Basically it was saying that we are all sinners because we were all in the loins of Adam. 

Read this--

Heb 7:4  Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. 

Heb 7:5  And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: 

Heb 7:6  But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. 

Heb 7:7  And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. 

Heb 7:8  And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. 

Heb 7:9  And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. 

Heb 7:10  For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him. 

Levi paid tithes in Abraham-  remember Levi is the son of Jacob, Jacob was the son of Isaac and Isaac was the son of Abraham, yet Levi PAID tithes in Abraham. Levi was in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Levi… yet Levi was in the loins of his father when Abraham his great grandfather met Melchisedec. This was all because Abraham's loins held the seed that would bring forth Levi far in the future.

So, if this is in fact true, it can be true that we all inherit sin through Adam-because we were in his loins, we are his descendants.

All have sinned. All are under sin. All- heathen and the physical seed of Abraham which became the Jewish people, all have sinned. And ALL are offered eternal life in Jesus Christ, through faith.

No one person is better than another, none are righteous, not one.

Gal 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

Gal 3:8  And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 

Rom 3:9  What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; 

Rom 3:10  As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one

Rom 3:21  But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 

Rom 3:22  Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 

Rom 3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God

The righteousness of God WITHOUT the law is manifest- the law of the prophets witnessed this righteousness to come, and it's from GOD by FAITH in Jesus Christ.

More tomorrow on all this- by the will and grace of our Savior, Jesus Christ, now and forever!!!!!!!
