Timothy Wayne George's comment on 2013-07-30 03:56:08:

An odious woman when she is married, and a handmaid who is heir to her mistress. This reminds us of Hagar, and Sarah. When Hagar became proud of Ismael, Sarah put Hagar out of the house. The bond woman was not to be heir with the promised child. In the fulness of time Isaac was born unto Sarah, and the promise was complete. The promise is complete when you place your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you become joint heirs with Christ. Only faith in the shed blood of Jesus at the cross will save you from being cast out of the presence of the Lord.
