TOPIC: God’s Promise Fulfilled Through Christ
READ: Galatians 3:15-22
15 Brothers and sisters, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case.
16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,”[a] meaning one person, who is Christ.
17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise.
18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.
19 Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator.
20 A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one.
21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.
22 But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
THE MESSAGE:
The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Galatians, explained the promise God made to Abraham regarding blessing the whole world. This promise of God to Abraham actually referred to the gift of salvation in Christ and all the resulting spiritual blessings. Although Abraham had other children, he gave gifts to them but Isaac received the covenant of God’s abundant blessing (Genesis 25:5&6). Isaac was the father of Jacob while Jacob gave birth to Judah. God chose the tribe of Judah to ultimately fulfil the covenant of blessing all the nations of the world through the Lord Jesus Christ. All the blessings of Abraham have become the possessions of all believers in Jesus Christ.

Beloved, all the blessings of life are located in Jesus Christ, beginning with the blessing of salvation and redemption. Every spiritual benefit is derived through Christ Jesus, the Mediator of the New Covenant (Ephesians 1:3-6). It is therefore through faith in Christ that everyone can access the blessings attached to salvation in Christ Jesus. These blessings: healing, deliverance, restoration, as well as spiritual and material prosperity, are limitless. Those who are of Christ continue to enjoy His blessings because Jesus Christ is the fulfilment of the blessings of Abraham on mankind.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I claim Your blessings in Christ today in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
