It is in the first book of the Bible that we are talking about God's promises to Abraham. In Genesis 11we are introduced to the person of Abraham, he was Abram at the time.

Like I said that was a big ask. Yet there are some things to know about God’s promise to Abraham that can be an encouragement to you and me today.
After asking him to leave the first thing God did was to tell Abraham he would make him into a great nation. This didn’t make sense, as Abraham was 75 years old and Sarah was not only past the childbearing years, she couldn’t have children when she was in those childbearing years. This is one reason that demonstrates how much faith Abraham had. He ...
There is a simple truth to the blessing of God on Abraham’s life. God blessed him so that he could bless others. This truth is not just for Abraham it is true for you and me as well. When God blesses he never intends for it to be kept to yourself. That goes against God’s character. God takes from his best and shares it with you. He expects you to d...
In verse 3, here is God’s promise to Abraham, "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse."

Remember this is an eternal promise because God did not put an expiration date on it. The fulfillment of this promise is not in Abraham himself or the...
The last thing I want you to know about God’s promise to Abraham is that it was dependent on God to bring it to pass, not Abraham. Here is what God promised to do. -I will show you where to go. -I will make you into a great nation. -I will bless you. -I will make your name great. -I will make you a blessing to others. -I will bless those who bless ...
God's Promise to Abraham. 17 When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to him again and said, “I am God All-Powerful. If you obey me and always do right, 2 I will keep my solemn promise to you and give you more descendants than can be counted.” 3 Abram bowed with his face to the ground, and God said:
Sep 22, 2023 · God makes seemingly unbelievable promises to Abram—especially for a man with no children. God vows to him in Genesis 12:2-3 that He will make Abram a great patriarch with a large and blessed nation. He also said that as a result of these blessings, Abram and his line would bless all the people on the earth.
Jan 4, 2022 · The blessing of Abraham is the gracious heavenly gift that Abraham received as part of God’s plan to create a new nation on earth. The blessing of Abraham is also sometimes misused in prosperity theology to claim that believers today can be just as rich and successful as Abraham was.
God said to Abram, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved and oppressed four hundred years. But I will also judge the nation whom they will serve, and afterward they will come out with many possessions.
3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. 5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. 6 David says the same thing when he ...
