God radically revised the foundational promises of a sign, place, and people. The holy sign is now faith rather than circumcision. The holy land is the whole world rather than just Canaan. And the holy people are all who have faith in Abraham's God rather than just Abraham's physical descendants. God's grace explodes narrow human views and calls all people into his kingdom through faith.
John 1:6-13 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us that we should be called children of God. Children get the Father's love. God's spirit dwells in His children. Children get to be like the Father. Children get corrected by the Father. Children receive the inheritance.
Hebrews 4:11-13 God's Word: Produces faith, cleanses us, brings reconciliation, tells us how to be saved, blesses us, answers life's questions, solves life's problems, helps us weather life's storms, tells us what is right and wrong, produces fruit in our lives, will judge us.

CONCLUSION-
God gave us His Word for a purpose. God wants us to be with Him in heaven. To do this we must change from serving Satan to serving God. God gave His Word so we would know how to live our lives. God gave His Word so we would change.
God calls men to the old paths; few make the right choice (Jer. 6:16). People, prophets, and priests were guilty of ignoring God’s word (Jer. 6:13-17). They lived to please themselves, not the Lord.
All men must seek the old paths to be right with God.

4. 13 It was not through the law that Abraham and his
offspring received the promise that he would be heir
of the world, but through the righteousness that
comes by faith. 14 For if those who depend on the
law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise
is worthless, 15 because the law brings wrath. And
where there is no law there is no transgression.
5. “It’s clear to me that Karma [everything
you do or say has lasting consequences] is
at the very heart of the universe. I’m
absolutely sure of it. And yet, along
comes this idea called Grace to upend all
that ‘as you reap, so shall you sow’ stuff.
Grace defies reason and logic. Love
interrupts, if you like, the consequences of
your actions, which in my case is very
good news indeed, because I’ve done a lot
of stupid stuff… I’d be in big trouble if
Karma was going to finally be my judge.
I’d be in deep s---. It doesn’t excuse my
mistakes, but I’m holding out for Grace.
I’m holding out that Jesus took my sins
onto the Cross, because I know who I am,
and I hope I don’t have to depend on my
own religiosity.”

6. 16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that
it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all
Abrahamʼs offspring—not only to those who are of
the law but also to those who have the faith of
Abraham. He is the father of us all. 17 As it is
written: “I have made you a father of many nations.”
He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he
believed—the God who gives life to the dead and
calls into being things that were not.
Romans 4:16-17 (NIV)
10. Revised What the Holy Sign Is
• Genesis 17:10-14 10 This is my covenant with you and
S
your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep:
Every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 You are
to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the
covenant between me and you...14 Any uncircumcised
male, who has not been circumcised in the flesh, will be cut
off from his people; he has broken my covenant.”

• Galatians 5:6 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision
A Sign nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that
counts is faith expressing itself through love.
13. Revised Where the Holy Land Is
• Genesis 17:8 8 The whole land of Canaan, where you
P
now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting
possession to you and your descendants after you; and I
will be their God.”

So shall your offspring be.” Genesis 15:5
19. Galatians 3:7-9,26-29 7 Understand, then, that
those who have faith are children of Abraham. 8
Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles
by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to
Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” 9
So those who rely on faith are blessed along with
Abraham, the man of faith. 26 So in Christ Jesus
you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all
of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed
yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor
Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male
and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29
If you belong to Christ, then you are Abrahamʼs
