In thy Seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed

6/17/2014

 
And Abram fell on his face: and GOD talked with him, saying, As for Me, behold, My covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish My covenant between Me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a GOD unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their GOD. (Gen 17:3-8)
GOD once again pronounces the everlasting covenant He has established with His people. Not only will Abraham be the father of many nations because of all his descendants after the flesh, but through Israel the Messiah will come and all those who put their trust in Him will be spiritual children of Abraham. But that does not mean that the Church has replaced Israel in GOD's plan and covenant. GOD still cares about the Jews and will deliver them as a nation in His time.

GOD keeps His promises, and while some parts are conditional upon our belief and obedience, this covenant was established as an everlasting covenant based on Abraham's faith and GOD's unchanging plan for all those who would come to Him in faith. GOD has always had a plan for His people, first Israel and He has not abandoned them, then His Church until all who will come have come to Him and surrendered on His terms, and finally the saints and Israel of the Tribulation who will be delivered by their faith and endurance until the end.

But, until the time that GOD turns His attention back to Israel, when it is no longer the time of the Gentiles, we, GOD's Church, the body of Christ, are to be about our Father's business. We are to minister to the hurting as GOD gives the increase, disciple one another in the Word and in love, and proclaim the Good News of Salvation in Jesus Christ to all who will hear and obey. We are commanded to go and tell, and as we go, spread the Gospel to everyone we meet that they may believe and believing have life in His Name.

For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Receive Him by faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. He calls you to surrender to Him on His terms, turning away from your sIn and unrighteousness, that you may receive the righteousness of GOD in Him through faith in what He has already done on that cruel Roman cross.  GOD is Sovereign and keeps His promises, and He offers you forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ.

In Christ,
Jefferson Sweet
