“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond (slave) nor free, there is neither male nor female (and you could add, there is neither white nor black), for you are all one (family) in Christ Jesus. And if you be Christ’s, then are you Abraham’s seed (descendants) and heirs according to the promise (the promise God made to Abraham and ALL his descendants)” (See Galatians 3:29).
And it is in this text wherein Paul is speaking of the Abrahamic Covenant. I assure you Paul, being a Jew and once having been a Pharisee, had an intimate knowledge of the Abrahamic Covenant and all that it entailed. What is horrible beyond words to describe is that the average Christian has no concept whatever of that covenant, does not know that it is still in full force and effect yet today in the year 2025 and applies to all faithful sons and daughters of God in Christ Jesus.
The 105th Psalm is a Psalm addressed primarily to the descendants of Abraham. In fact, you might say this Psalm is addressed solely to the descendants of Abraham for it speaks to and of only the faithful sons and daughters of God of all ages, and all such are descendants of Abraham, according to the revelation given us by the apostle Paul in Romans 4 and Galatians 3.
Verse 1: “O give thanks unto the Lord, call upon His name, make known His deeds among the people.” Verse 2: “Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him, talk ye of all His wondrous works.” Verse 3: “Glory ye in His holy name. Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord (for He can be found by the descendants of Abraham).” Verse 4: “Seek the Lord, and His strength. Seek His face evermore.” Verse 5: “Remember His marvelous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth.” Why remember such? Because HE CHANGES NOT! What He did for Abraham and Abraham’s descendants of many generations ago HE WILL DO FOR YOU! This is the heart and soul of the Abrahamic Covenant.
Verse 6: “O ye seed of Abraham His servant, ye seed of Jacob His chosen.” Verse 7: “He is the Lord our God. His judgments are in all the earth.” Yes, in ALL the earth. In Ohio! In Kentucky! In New Jersey!
Verse 8: “HE HAS REMEMBERED HIS COVENANT (WITH ABRAHAM AND ABRAHAM’S DESCENDANTS) FOR EVER, the word which He commanded TO A THOUSAND GENERATIONS, WHICH COVENANT HE MADE WITH ABRAHAM, and His oath unto Isaac.” (verse 9). Less than one hundred generations have passed since God made that covenant with Abraham and His descendants, whose descendants WE ARE says Paul in Romans and Galatians. It will be in effect for hundreds of generations beyond our own day and time. To be continued…..
