What does it mean to be a spiritual child of Abraham?

Answered in 1 source

Being a spiritual child of Abraham means having faith in Christ, aligning oneself with the promises of God.

In Galatians 3:7, we read, "Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham." This signifies that true descendants of Abraham are not merely identified by ethnic lineage but by their faith in God's promises, fulfilled in Christ. Jesus, in referring to the woman in Luke 13 as a daughter of Abraham, illustrates that she is included in the covenant community through her faith. This concept reaffirms the notion that salvation is available to all who believe, not limited by nationality or heritage but rooted in the grace extended through Christ to all His followers. Thus, being a spiritual child of Abraham emphasizes our identity in Christ, the ultimate fulfilment of God’s covenant.
