The Blessing of Abraham

Deuteronomy 19-21; Galatians 3 

“’He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit…There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.’”

Galatians 3:14, 28

The blessing of Abraham is the person of the Holy Spirit who makes possible personal relationship and communion with God. This promise of relationship with God, through the Holy Spirit, is for those who have received Christ Jesus as their Savior and Lord. We have one Lord and one Spirit, and we are one Body in Christ. This blessing is for all nations and all social classes, both men and women, old and young. There is no more powerful, uniting presence on earth, than God’s indwelling Spirit through Jesus Christ.

Is this unity of the faith evident in our relationships, churches, and ministries?

Are we living in the fullness of God’s blessing to Abraham and his seed?

“Lord Jesus, you are the blessing of Abraham through your Spirit within me. Thank you.”
