Genesis 21:3

Sarah

Sarah, type of grace, "the freewoman," and of the "Jerusalem which is above." See Genesis 17:15-19; Galatians 4:22-31

2 Isaac is typical in fourfold way:

(1) of the Church as composed of the spiritual children of Abraham Galatians 4:28.

(2) of Christ as the Son "obedient unto death" Genesis 22:1-10; Philippians 2:5-8.

(3) of Christ as the Bridegroom of a called-out bride see Gen 24; also, "Church," Matthew 16:18, (See Scofield "Matthew 16:18") .

(4) of the new nature of the believer as "born after the Spirit" Galatians 4:29.
