God’s Friend
What was it about Abraham that the LORD God chose him to be part of His Central Plan?
There was nothing special about Abraham other than he had a trust in the LORD. That trust ment that Abraham was confident in The Lord to carry out the Promises He had made concerning himself and Sarah. The Lord was also confident that Abraham would train his household the very special instructions that the LORD had given him. It was true that there were obstacles that Abraham had to learn to overcome to be part of God's Plan, but it was Abraham’s character the LORD trusted for it all to work.
What was it?
Abraham's trust in the LORD was such that he would instruct his children and household in the way that was absolutely necessary or The Salvation Plan to have a place of authority amongst the affairs of Mankind.
Man was given Authority in the Earth. Even though he bowed his knee the Satan the Authority for any outside entity to act in the arth had to come through a Word, Law that man had declared.
The Law that Moses gave to The Children of Isreal when studied with this fact in mind shows that it was a pattern of what Jesus was going to fulfil through His Life and Death.
The power of the blood which is a major theme throughout the Scriptures is another large study that also needs to be handled on its own. The blood of a sinful man was not able to effect a change, but the Blood of a sinless Man did break the death cycle.
All this being true the blood is not the Sin carrier to the next generation. This would eliminate all the babies that die in the early years because of the sin in their blood. They would not have the understanding of receiving redemption so they could go to Heaven. I believe that Children that ie before the age of their enlightenment go straight to Heaven to await the redemption of their new body. As you can see this also is such big topic it needs its own space to do it justice.
So what about how The Plan is going to be executed?
There is another aspect that needs to be looked into.
