How do we know Jesus took on the seed of Abraham?

Answered in 1 source

Hebrews 2:16 confirms that Christ took on Him the seed of Abraham to save them, indicating His commitment to the covenant of grace.

According to Hebrews 2:16, the Son of God did not take upon Himself the nature of angels but the seed of Abraham. This passage underscores the essential truth of Christ's incarnation as part of His redemptive work. He chose to bear the nature of humanity, specifically the elect, in order to accomplish salvation. Jesus, as our Surety, took hold of the seed of Abraham long before creation was established, solidifying His role in the covenant of grace. In doing so, He connects with humanity's plight and fulfills the divine plan of salvation through His life, death, and resurrection.
