Gen. 12:1-3; Gal. 3:8; John 1;1
Abraham, the chosen man to begin the Hebrews race was not practicing Judaism but the he was a Christian. In the beginning was the word and the word was God. It is believed and confirmed that, the word became flesh and dwell among men and we believe his story, as the only begotten son of God full of grace and truth.
So when Gal. 3:8 told us that “the scripture foreseeing that God will justify the Gentiles out of faith announced the gospel beforehand to Abraham; in you shall the nation be blessed . It is correct to say here that, gospel; that was preached to Abraham was Christ the image of God” II Cor. 4:4, the glorious gospel is the image of God. If the word of God says, the God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, and Jesus Christ” who being the brightness of his glory, the express image of his person and upholding all things by the word of his power. Heb. 1:3a.
It follows that the glorious gospel was beforehand preached, and he accepted the gospel by faith. The Just shall live by faith not by following the law by faith Abraham believed the gospel that was in the image of God which is Christ Abraham believed the messiah, he believe Christ. Until now what God is looking for are people that will believed Christ, the messiah of the world.
As he believed, Christ met with him in a form of the high priest, whom is revealed as having no beginning or ending of day, no father no mother but remained a priest for ever so Christ appeared to Abraham before he can reproduced a type of Christ – Isaac and gave him bread and wine just like he gave to Peter and others disciples. It therefore follows that Abraham was the first Christ disciple whom the gospel was preached . he believed and followed by faith and all the promises comes to pass because he believed God word. the gospel is to be received by faith, those whose gospel is preached to and they never received it with faith cannot enter into God rest, or place or rest.
According to Hebrews 4:1- those who received not the gospel by faith didn’t enter the Promised Land. You can see here that our father Abraham, was preached to, he received the message by faith and entered into his promised land and begot the promised son by faith. Every person who believed the same gospel, Abraham received by faith is a disciple of Christ, the image of God.
Now the generations of Abraham queried Jesus Christ when he told them before Abraham was born, I am “John 5:58” because the were carried by their laws they cannot discern Christ was speaking from heaven the beginning of the kingdom of God that he brought to the earth who before hand was preached to Abraham.
He further brought them deeper in the revelation of God ; if I glory myself, my glory means nothing but my father whom you claim as your God is the one who glorifies me. Though you do not know him; I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you but I do know him and keep his word your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my days, he saw it and was glad.
This that Jesus Christ said to the Jews who hold unto Judaism proved to me that Abraham was preached to as the scripture says and he believed the heavenly message, with joy ran it in his generation and Christ the Melchizedeck ministered to him bread and wine – when he preached that to the Jews they rejected it and even blackmail him for such message “You will eat my body and drink my blood else you will not have life”.
This was why he told them you search the scripture for you think in them is eternal life. When our father Abraham took bread and wine, which is a type of the body and blood of Jesus Christ, there was a transfer of the body and blood of Christ , for the messiah generation, which begins with Isaac. It can be said here that “Isaac was not his blood – It was a type of Christ.” Therefore, Christ was before Abraham, preached himself to Abraham, gave himself and he reproduced what he received as Isaac – which was a type of Christ. Christ was laying a foundation of the race with his blood (bread and wine) he gave to Abraham to enable him reproduced Isaac according to the time of life; Christ. No wonder the scripture says “In Isaac shall they seed be called – In other word, in Christ shall your seed be called. It is right to say in Christianity shall thy seed be called”.
Jesus Christ was God promised son, and the Promised Land promised to Abraham with other blessings and only in Christ shall all the Abrahamic blessings fully manifest or comes. I want to say that Abraham was the first disciple of Christ, first to received Christ, first to believe his message, first to believe the kingdom of God, first to believe the anointed, first to see Christ and believed. Why God anointed to Abraham. “He is a Prophet” the first God recognized prophet” whom God anointed by himself to begin a prophetic nation and generation and Christ was a prophet – a great one, not as others by a Hebrew prophet to the nation of the world.
Therefore, let my Jews brothers know it is not by laws but by grace. It is not by Moses but by Abraham, the forerunner of the Hebrew race,the God chosen people on the earth who had received Christ as his God and Savior as deliver. It can be said here that Christianity begin with Abraham, for he was not preaching Judaism, it is my sincere believed that all Israel will be saved as the scripture foretold, I believe, at the end, their eyes will be opened, they will see Christ, as the foundation of their race, they will believed him as their messiah as our father Abraham did.
Look unto me all ye ends of the end and be save and there is no other name given among men that you will be saved. Since my Jew brothers are expecting the coming messiah – Christ the anointed, he has come and will come again before his returned with the plenitude of Godhead bodily, they will return to Christ, their eyes will be opened they will come to understand that the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. That brought Abraham forever so that the Jews will know that Christianity begins with Abraham and son Isaac, and Christ is the new testament Isaac for the shadow and the type is gone and now the reality manifests. Abraham was a Christian,an active follower or believes of the heavenly home where Christ preached and went back.therefore Abraham children should believe what He believed and be saved.
Just believed, what Abraham – believed, just received whom your father Abraham received, it you do “he says, if you receive you will see the glory, what glory, the glory of the only begotten son full of grace and truth, you will see the God of glory as Abraham saw, the express image of his person, the brightness of God’s glory” that's Christ .
