God’s promises to Abraham
The next great development in the unfolding of God’s promises for the future was made to Abraham (originally Abram). He was called by God, about 2000 B.C., to leave his home in Mesopotamia to journey to Canaan, which was to become known as the
Promised Land. The promises God made to him were amazingly wide in scope:
“I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great
. . . and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed” (Gen. 12:2,3);
“Lift up now thine eyes, and look . . . for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever” (13:14,15);
“Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and He said unto him, So shall thy seed be” (15:5).
Abraham’s belief in the last of these promises from God was “counted . . . to him for righteousness”, in other words, his sins were forgiven because of his faith (v. 6;
cf. Rom. 4:3; Gal. 3:6; Jas. 2:23).
These promises once again focused on the promised
seed, descended from Abraham, eventually revealed as the Lord Jesus Christ (Gal. 3:16). The multiplication of that seed “as the stars of heaven” refers to the multitude of people of all ages who would gain salvation through Jesus, by believing the same promises (Dan. 12:3; Heb. 11:12,13).
God endorsed His promises to Abraham by covenants, first a covenant for the land of Israel (Gen. 15:18) and then one with his seed, that He would be
their God. This was marked in Abraham’s natural descendants, the nation of Israel, by the rite of circumcision (17:1-14). Finally God sealed all of His promises and covenants with a solemn oath:
“By Myself have I sworn, saith the LORD . . . that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven . . . and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed” (22:16-18).
These promises, subsequently reiterated to Isaac and Jacob (Israel), are the very founda- tion of the gospel of salvation (Gal. 3:8,9). They require that Abraham and all the faithful must rise from the dead, as Jesus did, in order to enjoy them (Acts 24:14,15; 26:6-8).

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css="" css_animation="none"]#1 - A @Christadelphians Video: Description: Mankind is constantly vainly searching for "eternal youth” in potions and creams. The Bible's promise of eternal life is certain. This talk explains how we are able to obtain this wonderful promise, which is offered to those who strive to walk in the ways of GOD.
#2 - A @Christadelphians Video: Description: Jesus is the major descendant of Abraham. The great promises are outlined and portray a land and a nation. The Lord Jesus teaches that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will be in the Kingdom of God. Association with Abraham brings blessings. The ‘New Testament’ gives an importance place to Abraham. Ultimately, all nations will be blessed in Abraham.
#3 - A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The promises made to King David thousands of years ago, are still awaiting fulfilment. The Son of GOD, the Lord Jesus Christ, will one day reign from Jerusalem. David died in full assurance that what GOD has promised HE is able to perform. The Good News of the gospel is that these promises are available to us today, if we will believe GOD’s word and obey HIS commandments.
