What does it mean to be the seed of Abraham?

Answered in 2 sources

Being the seed of Abraham refers to those elected by God who have faith in Christ, not merely ethnic descendants.

The concept of the seed of Abraham is crucial in understanding who the true children of God are. It is not the physical lineage that defines the seed, but rather those who have faith like Abraham. This spiritual lineage includes all believers, as evidenced in Romans and Galatians, where the emphasis is placed on faith as the criteria for being counted among God's chosen. The promise extends to those who are partakers of grace through belief in Christ, affirming that divine choice precedes human action in the matter of salvation.
