28: Blessings for All
·
God
called Abram to come out from his family and worship Him, and established a
line of faithful believers through Abraham
·
God
promised that all the World would be blessed through Abraham’s seed - through Jesus - and also that Isaac’s seed
would receive great blessing
·
Our
human tendency might be to see the different blessings as prioritised gifts,
but we should see them as an order within God’s Plan
·
All
people will be blessed through the sacrifice of Jesus, and have assurance of
life in the World to come
·
The
blessing to a remnant through Isaac will be to return to the Promised Land – which
is their physical bodies – and they will be preserved in spirit and soul and
body and be changed, without death, from mortal to immortal beings at the
return of Jesus Christ.
