“Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.”
Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, we have Abraham as our father. For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham — produce fruit worthy of repentance: the fruit test measures genuine transformation. Do not say we have Abraham as our father: covenant ancestry cannot substitute for personal response to the kingdom. Out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham: the divine power to create covenant community is not limited to biological descent.
