CHRIST AS HEIR RECEIVES THE INHERITANCE IN THE WAY OF PROMISE

^[p. 271] CHRIST AS HEIR RECEIVES THE INHERITANCE IN THE WAY OF PROMISE

We have seen that Christ is Heir, in title, as being Creator of all things — all things having been made by Him and for Him, as the Son; and also because He has been established such in the purpose of God. So that, God [acting] in the way of promise, all the promises find their centre in Christ. “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ,” Galatians 3: 16. “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us,” 2 Corinthians 1: 20. Thus Christ is the Heir, the Seed, to whom the promise was made.
