I had a dream last night, and in it I was struck by the thought that to believe you have a contract with God you most likely believe yourself his equal in some way.
Why would you need a contract with God if he loves us?
edit: Perhaps I should clarify that I'm referring to a group of people who view God's love as some kind of business deal, a singling out from the rest of humanity for special treatment.
PS I also don't think it's the same God that I percieve.
“Abraham covenant…specifically for the Jews.” No, there were no Jews at that time. Jews were from the tribe of Judah, who wasn’t born yet, and after the kingdom of Israel split from the kingdom of Judah after King Solomon. Gal. 3:6-7 says, “Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Know then that they who are of faith, these are sons of Abraham." The promises were spoken to Abraham and his Seed, Christ, and if we are in Christ, we are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise (vv. 16, 29).
