What Does Galatians 3:7 Mean?

Paul draws the conclusion that flows from Abraham's example. The real heirs of Abraham are not defined by bloodline or law-keeping but by faith. Those who believe as Abraham believed are his genuine children.

This widens the family of God far beyond what some imagined. Anyone who trusts God's promise stands in Abraham's line. Faith, not ancestry or ritual, marks out the people of God. The door is open to all who believe, just as it was for Abraham himself.
