How does the blessing of Abraham come to the Gentiles?
The blessing of Abraham comes to the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, not through Judaism or law keeping, but through faith. It is received by simply believing the Word, the Gospel, and not by what we do. The promise of the Spirit is received through faith.
Les teaches that the blessing of Abraham comes on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, and that we might receive the promise of the Spirit. He stresses this is not through Judaism, not through law keeping, but through faith—simply believing the Word. He also illustrates from verse 15 that even a man's covenant, once confirmed, cannot be annulled or added to. God's covenants with Abraham, David, Isaac, and the patriarchs are absolute and settled forever; no one can take away or add a word. The promises were made to Abraham and his seed, pointing to Christ and the line of men and women leading to the Messiah. So the blessing is received by faith, not by works.
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
