Wednesday Evening January 27, 2023. Pastor Terry continues his series on the blessings of Abraham.
What Are the Blessings of Abraham?
“Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing He promised to Abraham.” (Galatians 3:14)
“Now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are heirs and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.” (Gal.3:29)
You may not know your rich old Uncle Henry very well. You only visited his house twice a year (Christmas and Easter). But when you hear that he has died and left you in his will, and that will is being read at a certain place at a certain time – you would be there! You want to know what rich old Uncle Henry has given to you in his will. If you don’t know what he left you, you can’t enjoy what he left you. If he left you a million dollars and you don’t know it, you’ll continue to live without the benefits of those million dollars.
The next three lessons in this series are the reading of Abraham’s will, what he left you now that he’s dead. He has passed on to his children certain blessings and you want to know what they are or you can’t enjoy them, If you are a Christian, you are an heir of Abraham and of Christ the Seed of Abraham (Gal.3:29).
The blessing of Abraham is a plenary blessing. That is, there are several aspects to that blessing. The blessing is multi-faceted. Like the Trinity, within the one true God there are three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. There is one baptism, but within that one baptism there are four: baptism in water, by the Spirit into Christ, by Christ with the Spirit, and a baptism with fire. The blessing of Abraham has at least five blessings within it. We will look at those six blessings within that one blessing. The first two are automatic for every believer in Jesus Christ. The others are different and must be enjoyed by personal direct faith in them.
