The Children of the Promise Are Counted as Offspring

Paul says, i am speaking the truth in christ. I am not lying. Paul interprets this to mean that abraham's children should not be relegated to natural descent either. So thertethere's a supernatural element to what it means to be a child of god. And what paul's doing here is hinting toard gentile inclusion via christ. He's doing that, but he's not actually saying it yet. But that's where he's going. Just like isaac came about through abraham and sarah, supernaturally and without regard to natural effort in the sense that we think,. but through divine miracle.
