The Seed of Abraham

“For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham”

Hebrews 2: 16.

Now, then, we will speak of this first, as to how Christ prepared himself . . . mysteriously to act. He took hold of our nature. I say, he took hold of us, by taking upon him flesh and blood. The Son of God . . . took not upon him a particular person, though he took to him a human body and soul. But that which he took was, as I may call it, a lump of the common nature of man. And by that, hold of the whole elect seed of Abraham; “For verily he took not on him the nature of angels, but he took on him the seed of Abraham” (Hebrews 2: 16). Hence, he, in a mystery, became us, and was counted as all the men that were or should be saved.

Indeed, Jesus Christ fulfilled the righteousness of the law . . . because indeed fulfilled [it] in our nature: “For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us” (Romans 8: 3-4). But because none should appropriate this unto themselves that have not had passed upon them a work of conversion. Therefore, he adds, “Who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” (v. 4).

The reason of all this is, because we are said to be in him in his doing, in him by our flesh, and by the election of God. So, then, as all men sinned when Adam fell, so all the elect did righteousness when Christ wrought and fulfilled the law; “for as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive” (1 Corinthians 15: 22).
