What does being a 'daughter of Abraham' signify in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Being a 'daughter of Abraham' signifies a true spiritual lineage and faith in God, beyond mere ethnicity.

The term 'daughter of Abraham' used in the sermon points to a deeper spiritual significance than physical descent. In Luke 13, Jesus acknowledges the woman with an infirmity as a daughter of Abraham, indicating her rightful place in God's covenant family. This alludes to the broader truth found in Galatians 3:7, which states, 'Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.' This signifies that true spiritual lineage is marked by faith in Christ, not by ethnicity or adherence to the law. The sermon calls attention to our need to identify as part of this lineage through faith, affirming God’s redemptive work through Christ for His chosen people.
