As spiritual beings seeking to understand the ways of God, it is important to seek the substance of all things before forming our opinions.
We must remember that we are attempting to understand a God who is Spirit through our limited human minds, which are confined to five senses.
The passage regarding the promise to Abraham is often misunderstood and manipulated, but we must look deeper and seek the truth through the Holy Spirit.
The claim that God still favors the physical state of Israel or any flesh is refuted by the fact that Jesus himself said, “The flesh is of no profit, the words that I have spoken to you are Spirit and Life” (John 6).
We must take the Scriptures literally, but also understand that the literal meaning is not always the simplest or most obvious one.
In Genesis 12, God told Abraham to leave everything he knew and go to the land that He would show him.
This land is not the physical state of Israel, but rather the new kingdom that Christ is establishing. The promise to Abraham is not about physical land or fleshly descendants, but rather the Holy Spirit and the seed of Jesus Christ.
Abraham was being called by faith to exit the physical and enter the spiritual, and the New Covenant was being prepared in him.
God promised to make Abraham a great nation and to make his name great.
This nation is not a physical one, but rather the one nation in Christ where Jews and Gentiles are one in Him. The circumcision of the heart is what seals this nation, and appearances, race, and other external factors are worthless.
We must seek the truth through the Holy Spirit and look beyond the surface level of Scripture to find the deeper meaning.
This is a controversial idea, but it is supported by Scripture and the teachings of Jesus.
We must also remember that God is no respecter of persons and does not favor one group over another based on their physical characteristics.
If you are ugly inwardly, own that sh*t! God will take the wretch that you are & burn it, so to save your soul because He loves you and wants your praises.
We must focus on our inward selves and seek to be transformed by the Holy Spirit, rather than relying on our outward appearance or physical characteristics.
In conclusion, the promise to Abraham is not about physical land or fleshly descendants, but rather about the Holy Spirit and the seed of Jesus Christ. The one nation in Christ is what seals this promise, and appearances, race, and other material descriptors mean nothing. We must seek the truth through the Holy Spirit and focus on our inward selves, rather than relying on our outward appearance or physical characteristics.
