- 1. First accepting Christ as the Son of David concerns submission and authority, which is a prerequisite for receiving blessings.
- 2. Later accepting Christ as the Son of Abraham relates to inheriting promises and blessings, which is the result of submitting to Christ's authority.
- 3. These two identities reflect two important aspects of the believer's relationship with Christ: submitting to His rule and receiving His blessings.
- 4. In practical spiritual experience, these two aspects are inseparable: when we submit to Christ's rule (Son of David), we can more deeply experience God's blessings (Son of Abraham).
- 5. This order emphasizes that in God's kingdom, blessings are built upon the correct spiritual order and authority relationship.
