HEAR Journaling - Genesis 17
Highlight – Genesis 17:1-8 New Living Translation
1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life. 2 I will make a covenant with you, by which I will guarantee to give you countless descendants.” 3 At this, Abram fell face down on the ground. Then God said to him, 4 “This is my covenant with you: I will make you the father of a multitude of nations! 5 What’s more, I am changing your name. It will no longer be Abram. Instead, you will be called Abraham,[a] for you will be the father of many nations. 6 I will make you extremely fruitful. Your descendants will become many nations, and kings will be among them! 7 “I will confirm my covenant with you and your descendants[b] after you, from generation to generation. This is the everlasting covenant: I will always be your God and the God of your descendants after you. 8 And I will give the entire land of Canaan, where you now live as a foreigner, to you and your descendants. It will be their possession forever, and I will be their God.”
Explain – God confirms His covenant with Abram, renaming him Abraham, and promising that all his descendants from generation to generation will be God’s people and will dwell in the land of Canaan.
Apply – God’s covenant, His promise to Abraham is extended to all believers in Jesus Christ as we are all grafted in to Abraham’s family, the family of God. We will all dwell with God in the New Jerusalem which will be in the land of Canaan.
Galatians 3:29 ESV And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.
Acts 2:39 ESV For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”
Ephesians 2:11-13 ESV Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Revelation 21:2 ESV And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Isaiah 65:17 ESV “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind.
Revelation 22:14 ESV Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.
Respond- Thank You Lord for Your faithful promises. Thank You for including me with Your bride, the body of Christ. I look forward to the day that I will leave this sinful world to dwell with You and other faithful followers through eternity. I pray for those that do not know You, that they will yield to Your unction and become faithful and obedient followers too, Amen.
