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.
