Therefore we don’t base anything on our earthly genealogy. Our confidence is in the fact that we have regeneration by the Word and Spirit of God.
God has preserved the genealogies of His Son so we may have a clear record and see His identification. Matthew wrote especially to show the Savior came from the line of David (who should sit upon the throne and reign in righteousness over all this universe) and Abraham (through whom all nations of the earth shall be blessed) which interested the Jews. What is the significance of Luke’s genealogy?

Isn’t it great that God included us in His plan before we were born so that we can come to Jesus and trust Him as our very own personal Savior? He is the only way to Heaven and through Jesus I have my sins forgiven. Now, I need to share this good news with others who do not know Him personally.
