What does it mean to be the seed of Abraham?
Scripturally, it has a deeper meaning
than being his literal descendants.
The Lord made a covenant with Abraham, the great patriarch,
that all nations would be blessed through him.
Any man or woman can claim the blessings of Abraham.
They become his seed and an heir to the promised blessings
by accepting the gospel, being baptized, entering into temple
marriage, being faithful in keeping their covenants,
and helping to carry the gospel to all
the nations of the earth.
As the seed of Abraham, we have some obligations.
We are commanded to come to Christ
by doing the works of Abraham.
These works include obedience to God,
receiving and keeping the priesthood and temple
ordinances of covenants, preaching the gospel,
building a family unit and teaching our children,
and being faithful to the end.
