Main Point: God promised to bless all the world through Abraham.
Unit Key Passage: Romans 4:3
Big Picture Question: What did God promise? God made a covenant to bless His people.
God is a covenantmaking God. God's covenants are unconditional, God keeps His promises. When Abram was 75 years old, God spoke to him. God called Abram to leave behind his family and his lands to go to a place God would show him. God made a covenant with Abram, promising to bless all the world through one of his descendants. God told Abraham that He alone would be responsible for holding up the covenant. God promised to bless all the earth through Abraham.
At just the right time, Jesus was born into Abraham’s family. Jesus fulfilled God’s promise to Abraham. Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Through Him, all the nations of the earth are blessed.
