“Blessings Promised Through Abraham”
Genesis 11:27-12:9
Another New Beginning (11:27-32)
Promises and Blessings (12:1-9)
“8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith… 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith… 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.” - Galatians 3:8-9, 14, 28-29
Reflection Questions
- What do I have to leave behind to faithfully follow God instead?
- How have I been faithfully stewarding the blessings of the gospel in this season?
