The covenant

God continued to speak to Abraham, "You and your descendants who are born in the future are to keep my covenant that is, you and your descendants, generation after generation.

He confirmed it to Jacob in the form of an ordinance, an eternal covenant to Israel,

You found him faithful in your sight; you made a covenant with him and you gave the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, and the Girgashites to his descendants. And you have kept your word, because you are righteous.

He has shown mercy to our ancestors and remembered his holy covenant,

who are Israelis. To them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the Law, the worship, and the promises.

For I tell you that the Messiah became a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God's truth in order to confirm the promises given to our ancestors,

And if you belong to the Messiah, then you are Abraham's descendants indeed, and heirs according to the promise.

And in

I'll bless those who bless you, but I'll curse the one who curses you, and through you all the people of the earth will be blessed."

"since Abraham's descendants will become a great and powerful nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him?

Furthermore, through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my command."

I'll cause you to have as many descendants as the stars of the heavens, and I'll certainly give all these lands to your descendants. Later on, through your descendants all the nations of the earth will bless one another.

Your descendants are going to become like the dust of the earth and spread out to the west, east, north, and south. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your descendants.

For the promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the Law, but through the righteousness produced by faith.

Because the Scripture saw ahead of time that God would justify the gentiles by faith, it announced the gospel to Abraham beforehand when it said, "Through you all nations will be blessed."
