Who are the children of Abraham, and how does the question connect to our understanding of the gospel and the nature of Christ's work for His people? A secondary but related question is, are believer's children included in the New Covenant? In a two part series John and Spencer delve into biblical and covenant theology showing how the promises and covenant made with Abraham are to be understood in light of the New Testament. In Part 1, they briefly give a historical look at the way Reformed Theology generally has understood covenant theology and in particular the Abrahamic Covenants relationship to the New Covenant.
Biblical Texts- Genesis 12, 15, 17, 22; Gal 3-4
