Blessing through the seed

God said: I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. (Gen 12:2) Blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. (Gen 22:17) The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it. (Prov 10:22)

For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. (Rom 4:13) For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, "SURELY BLESSING I WILL BLESS YOU, AND MULTIPLYING I WILL MULTIPLY YOU." And so, after Abraham had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. (Heb 6:13-15) and Christ redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to us through Him (the seed), so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. (Gal 3:14) Whatsoever God had promised to Abraham are also true to us because by faith in Christ we are the sons of Abraham, we are the heirs of the world through the seed Jesus Christ. Do you believe that? Are you blessed? Now is not the time to give up... because Abraham patiently endured and obtained the promise. Hear Him.
