OUR FATHER WHOSE PROMISES ARE YEAH AND AMEN THROUGH CHRIST

In the 3rd chapter of the book of Galatians chapter from verses 15 - 18, the Apostle Paul tackles the concept of the efficacy of faith as the means of conferring righteousness upon those who would be justified. 

Whereas the law had a mechanism called inheritance by which families could confer advantages from generation to generation, the law, having come four hundred and thirty years after the estalishment of the promise God gave to Abraham, could not annul the pre-existing promise which God made to Abraham and to his Seed (singular).

This promise was given to Abraham and by extension, to the One who would come through his linage. This promise was secured by Abraham by his believing the promise and this faith was attributed to him as righteousness. Thus, we who would aspire to be justified, believe in the promise and this faith is how we too are justified because we are made righteous before God. 

15 Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man’s covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it. 16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ. 17 And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. 18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

Amen.
