Abraham's Promise and the Gentiles

God promised Abraham that all nations would be blessed through him. Scripture shows this promise fulfilled as the nations join God's family by faith in Christ (Galatians 3:6–29; Acts 15:7–9).

Connections across Scripture

  • Genesis 12:1–3 gives the promise of blessing for all nations; Acts 15:7–9 describes Gentiles welcomed through faith.
  • Romans 4 and Galatians 3 both build on Abraham.

For further reflection

  • Why does Paul go back to Abraham rather than Moses?
