Thats right, all who eventually live by Faith are Children of Promise as was Isaac, Gal 4:28
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
itIf we understood this scripture correctly there would be no room for mans freewill religion. This scripture tells us how we become believers, brethren. Its not by mans freewill choosing but its by Gods word of promise effecting it so by His Power and Faithfulness, as it was so in bringing Isaac into the world,
If we read the sacred record of how Isaac came to be, it was the result of a unqualified promise made to Abraham Gen 17:19
And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
God had promised earlier to Abraham Gen 17:2-6
2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
Believers are the result of the multiplication God promised Abraham in Gen 17:2 which extended into him being made a father of many nations .
