How does the blessing of Abraham now come to Gentiles?
The blessing of Abraham now comes to Gentiles not through Israel, but through the finished work of the cross through Jesus Christ, so that Gentiles receive the promise of the Holy Spirit through faith, without any works of the law.
Les teaches that the blessing of Abraham was meant to come upon the Gentiles, not through Israel as a nation, but through the finished work of the cross of Jesus Christ. As a result, Gentiles now receive the promise of the Holy Spirit through faith, without any works of the law. This is all part of God's plan of redemption, which includes eternal salvation and the indwelling Holy Spirit. Les emphasizes that it is a gift of God, not something earned. He also notes that the Apostle Paul suffered greatly to get the Gospel out to the Roman Empire, contrasting Paul's hardships with Abraham's easier path, yet the blessing itself comes through the cross, not through human effort.
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
