Promise of Blessing
Promise of Blessing
What does it mean to Trust God? To place a reliance or belief in a person or object. To have confidence in or to be confident.
This teaches that “Faith obeys God”. (cf. , ; ; ; ).
Who is talking in verses? God LORD Yehovah the Self-Existent or Eternal Jewish Personal name of God. Israel would learn by this that her very existence was God’s work through a man who responded by faith and left for Canaan. It would be a message to convince Israel of the divine call they were facing, and their need of faith for their move from Egypt to Canaan
What was the commands to Abram? The call had two imperatives, each with subsequent promises. 1. Leave your country and Go to a Land that I will show you. 2. Promise of blessing .
What were the promises made to Abram?
What were the promises made to Abram? Three promises were based on God’s call for Abram to leave his land: (a) a great nation, (b) a blessing for Abram, and (c) a great name (v. 2).
What would the promises enable Abram to do? These promises would enable him to “be a blessing” (the second imperative, v. 2). Based on this obedience were God’s three promises to: (a) bless those who blessed him, (b) curse anyone who would treat him lightly, and (c) bless the families of the earth through him (v. 3).
To bless or curse Abram was to bless or curse Abram’s God. Unfortunately God often had to use other nations to discipline His people because, far from being a blessing to the world, they were usually disobedient. The third promise takes on its greatest fulfillment in the fact that Jesus Christ became the means of blessing to the world (, ; cf. ).
Who is talking in verses? God LORD Yehovah the Self-Existent or Eternal Jewish Personal name of God.
