…”That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” (Galatians 3:13-14)
God made a profound covenant with Abraham, empowering him to bless the world. Through his obedience, Abraham emerged as the father of all nations. God’s promise to him was powerful: “I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing. I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” (Genesis 12:1-3). This moment marked the beginning of Abraham’s transformative journey with the Lord.
Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac—an extraordinary act of faith—became the foundation for salvation.
The scriptures reveal that Christ redeemed us from the law to expand Abraham’s blessings across generations. In essence, God’s purpose was fully realized in Christ through Abraham’s faith.
Christ’s mission was to share the Holy Spirit with all souls, ensuring that Abraham’s blessings reached far beyond Israel. God chose Israel out of deep love, protecting them and bringing forth a savior from their midst.
Yet the purpose of God flourished through the Holy Spirit, which only came through Jesus. When we consider the blessings of Abraham, we see they stem from unwavering faith and obedience. We have inherited blessings that transcend the physical, thanks to the Spirit of God.
In Genesis 26:3, God urged Isaac to obey in order to receive the blessings promised to Abraham. Through the Holy Spirit, we are granted extraordinary blessings, reflecting the boundless generosity of God’s grace.
