The blessing of Abraham

"And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever." (Gen 13:14-15)

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. (Gal 3:16) Now Christ is the seed of Abraham and if we are in Christ we are also the seed of Abraham. Thus we shall inherit the blessing. But the LORD only revealed the blessing after Lot departed. the name Lot also means "veil" in Hebrews which is "the law". Therefore the law must be departed from us to see Grace, the blessing of Abraham in us. Hear Him!
