这就是说，肉身的儿女并不是神的儿女，只有应许的儿女才算是后裔。原来所应许的话是这样的：“到明年这时候我要来，撒拉会生一个儿子。”

神说：“不，你的妻子撒拉将为你生一个儿子，你要给他起名为以撒。我要与他确立我的约，作为他后裔永远的约。

我要祝福她，也要藉着她赐给你一个儿子。我要祝福她，她将成为多国之母，万族的君王要从她而出。”

耶和华的使者第二次从天上向亚伯拉罕呼唤，说：“耶和华宣告：我指着自己起誓，你既然做了这事，没有留下你的儿子，就是你的独生子，

不过弟兄们，你们就像以撒一样，是应许的儿女。

天使对他说：“撒迦利亚，不要怕，因为你的祈祷已蒙垂听。你的妻子伊莉莎白要为你生一个儿子，你要给他起名叫约翰。
