KJV ORIGINAL
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
That's exactly why it comes down to faith — so it can be a gift of grace. This way, God's promise is guaranteed for everyone in Abraham's family tree. Not just the people who follow all the religious rules, but anyone who has the same kind of faith Abraham had. He's basically the spiritual father of all of us.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God made it about faith, not perfect rule-following, so everyone could be included in his family.
