October 20: For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Gal. 3:26

The elect seed is the seed of "promise" throughout. The elect seed in "figure" was the seed of promise, and the elect seed in reality is also the seed of promise. The Apostle Paul identifies the real seed most unmistakably: "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." Not the Christ in one person merely, but the Christ in many persons. R1436 Children of God, O glorious calling! Surely his grace will keep us from falling; Passing from death to life at his call, Blessed salvation! once for all. Hymn 54
