Isaac, a Type of the Regenerate Man
Genesis 17:21
But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear to you at this set time in the next year.


1. He was born by a distinct act of the will of God. So the regenerate man becomes God's child, not by the course of nature, but by a special grace. He is eminently born of God.

2. He was free born. So each child of God is made free from all bondage. He needs not the commands of law to compel him to obedience, for he obeys from love of his Father. Thus Isaac was the type of the evangelical dispensation, as Ishmael was that of the legal.
