Blessing of Abraham

The Gift of the Spirit is one of the Covenant promises for blessing the Nations of the Earth through Abraham and his “Seed,” Jesus Christ.

When Matthew’s Gospel declares Jesus to be the “Son of Abraham,” it links the man from Nazareth to the Abrahamic Covenant. The New Testament is filled with scriptural citations and apostolic teachings demonstrating that Jesus came to fulfill the Covenant. He is the promised “Seed of Abraham” and the true Heir of all the promises, including to “bless all the Nations” in the Patriarch.
