Matt 3:7–9

7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. 9 And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

 

 

One thought:

We are either sons of Abraham by faith or sons of Satan by unbelief

 

 

Three questions:

What were the Pharisee’s putting their hope in?

 

Do you feel entitled to God’s grace?

 

For a better understanding of the passage, read Romans 4.

 

Prayer:

Praise God for His promises to Abraham and all who have faith. Give thanks that through Jesus, the true son of Abraham, we can become sons and daughters by faith. Ask God to give the gift of faith to two or three unbelievers.
