Blessing of Abraham !

[brightfame52]

Gal 3:8-14

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Now what is the Blessing of Abraham ? Whatever it is, Whatever it is, its coming upon the Gentiles also !

The Blessing of Abraham that comes upon the Gentiles is found in Vs 8 Gods Gospel Promise Gal 3:8

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

The Blessing is Justification through or by Faith, that's why the Spirit is promised, to work Faith in the hearts of the Justified,

Same blessing Paul taught here Rom 3:29-30

29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

God is for God in Covenant, the uncircumcised Gentiles were included in Gods Covenant in Abraham,

Thats why Faith is the Gift of God, its part of a Covenant Gospel Promise Gal 3:8 See the promised Spirit works Faith into Abrahams Spiritual Seed, hence they which are of Faith are Abrahams Children, Spiritual Children Gal 3:7

7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and God's law was how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel of the Kingdom, which was in accordance with Jesus being sent as the promised seed to bless us by turning us from our wickedness (Act 3:25-26), which is the Gospel that was made known in advance to Abraham in accordance with the promise (Galatians 3:8), which he spread to heathens in Haran in accordance with the promise (Genesis 12:1-5), and which is in accordance with justification by faith.

In Genesis 18:19, God knew Abraham that he would teach his children and those of his household to walk in His way by being doers of righteousness and justice that the Lord might bring to him all that He has promised. In Genesis 26:4-5, God will multiply Abraham's children as the stars in the heaven, to his children He will give all of these lands, and through his children all of the nations of the earth will be blessed because he heard God's voice and guarded His charge, commandments, statues, and laws. In Deuteronomy 30:15-16, if the children of Abraham will love God with all of their hearts by walking in His way in obedience to His commandments, statutes, and laws, then they will live and multiply and God will bless them in the land that they go to possess. So the promise was made to Abraham and brought about because he walked in God's way in obedience to His law, he taught his children and those of his household to do that in accordance with spreading the Gospel of the Kingdom, and because they did that.

In Psalms 119:1-3, God's law is how the children of Abraham know how to be blessed by walking in His way, and in John 8:39, Jesus said that if they were children of Abraham, then they would be doers of the same works as him, so the way that the children of Abraham are multiples and are a blessing to the nations in accordance with inheriting the promise through faith is by turning the nations from their wickedness and teaching them to do the same works as Abraham by walking in His way in obedience to His law. In Galatians 3:26-29, every aspect of being children of God, in Christ, through faith, and children of Abraham and heirs to the promise is directly connected with being a doers of God's law. In 1 John 3:4-10, those who are not doers of righteousness in obedience to God's law are not children of God.

Now here you go bringing in conditions, works into the Blessing of Abraham promises.

Now here you go bringing in conditions, works into the Blessing of Abraham promises.

The Bible directly connects them, so I’m no bringing in anything. God has given instructions for how to be blessed and the way to be a blessing to the nations us by teaching them to follow those instructions, but you just want to be blessed instead of following those instructions and it doesn’t work that way.

False the blessings of Abraham are an inheritance given by promise Gal 3:18

14 ;That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.

16 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.

17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

 

[brightfame52]

What is the Blessing of Abraham ? Its at least twofold, #1 Its the Spirit coming upon his seed and Christs seed from out of all nations. Gal 3:13-14

13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

#2 The Blessing of Abraham that also comes upon the Gentiles is Imputed Righteousness apart from works Rom 4:1-12, 16-17

What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.

16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

So again the Blessing of Abraham shall be imputed righteousness amongst his seed among the nations.

Something that is inherited us a gift that is not earned as the result of our works, but that does not mean that the content of what is promised is not contingent on our works. In Luke 10:25-28, Jesus affirmed that the way to inherit the gift of eternal life is by obeying the greatest two commandments, so again he was not speaking about earning it as the result of our obedience. Again, in Acts 3:25-26, Jesus was sent as the promised seed to bless us by turning us from our wickedness, so we can’t be blessed instead of turning from our wickedness.

An inheritance is contingent upon one thing the testator who bequeaths the inheritance to their heirs. Thats what Heb 9:15-17

15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

All the recipients/heirs they will be called Vs 15 into partaking of the inheritance, the testator Vs 16 ensures that. You know who the testator is ?

Heb 9:16 (KJB)For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. Testator - The one who made the will or covenant An inheritance is not passed on to those named in the will or covenant while the testator is still alive. For the inheritance to pass to the inheritors, the death of the testator must take place. We see this everyday in the legal profession when people make out wills. As long as they are alive, their possessions remain theirs but upon their demise, it is then passed on legally and bindingly to the heirs. This verse is also teaching limited atonement. A will or testament is a legal document with the heirs previously named and names cannot be added to the list of heirs once the testator has died. So only those named in the will or last testament of Christ will become saved and no more names will be or can be added to it. So on one can claim they can become saved by their free will. For a person to become saved, they must have been named in the will of Christ which was prepared before the foundation of the world.https://www.scionofzion.com/hebrews_9_16_20.htm
