From that point on the descendants of Abraham were to be known as the “seed of Abraham”; but this expression came to mean three different things: (1) physical descendants, or Israelites who do trace their line back to Abraham; (2) physical descendents or Israelites who also believed in the LORD as Abraham did—so these are the true or full seed of Abraham (see Gal. The only way of appropriating it is through faith in the shed blood of Jesus. with a view to [prospectively]. In Romans 1:17, we read that “The righteous shall live by faith.” In this brief clip, R.C. 3), and (3) true believers who are not physical descendants—Gentiles—for if they believe in the LORD they share the faith of Abraham.
