The Root of Every Blessing: The Abrahamic Covenant

Dear Pastor Krewson. Knowing my interest in Israel, The Baptist Chapel where I worship asked me to lead some bible studies on Israel and God’s promises. (No small thing to do as I’ve never led before) I naturally started with Abraham and making my way through. The Lord directed me to your page and I have found it extremely useful in summarising not only where we have got to but also filling in some of the blanks. Eg. Abraham dividing the 3 sacrificial animals. Thank you for your work and may the Lord continue to bless you.
I praise God for you, Pastor Krewson!
May God continue to shine His face upon you and bless you and strengthen you to teach the uncompromised Gospel of Jesus Christ!
Thank you Pastor Krewson: you have brought me in-depth understanding in the Abrahamic Covenant. Thank you!
Abraham wasn’t the “unique channel of reciprocity” from God. As stated in Acts 3:35 it was a covenant made with the forefathers, who were Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Genesis 17:7 confirms this when God said the covenant was to Abraham AND his seed. Hebrews 11:9 confirms that it was made also with Isaac and Jacob as does Hebrews 7:10. Yet I guess thwere’s not a better name for it since it’s the traditionnally accepted title
Thank you for your insight.
