Hello, it's Pastor Steven Anderson from Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona. Today we're going to continue talking about Genesis 12, 1 through 3. I'm going to start reading in verse number 2. The Bible reads, And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee, and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Now, of course, people will try to apply these promises onto the modern-day Jesus Christ-rejecting nation of Israel and say that if we bless them, God will bless us, and if we curse them, God will curse us. Of course, this promise was not made unto them. This promise was made unto Abraham using the words thee and thou, which are singular, speaking to Abraham, saying I'm going to bless him that blesses you, singular Abraham, and curse him that curses you. Now, according to Galatians 3 16, we as believers in Jesus Christ inherit the promises of Abraham, whether we be Jew or Gentile. That's what we talked about in the last video. But today I want to focus on verse 3. In verse 3, he said, I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee, and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Now, what a lot of people will say is that, well, when the Bible says that in all nations, or in Abraham, all nations of the earth be blessed, that's because if they help Israel, they'll be blessed. So all nations can be blessed by being pro-Israel and helping Israel militarily and financially. We can all be blessed. Now, this comes from a note in the Schofield Reference Bible under Genesis 12 that says, yep, all nations will be blessed if they just support Israel. But listen to what Galatians chapter 3 says about that verse. In Galatians chapter 3 verse 8, the Bible reads, and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached the gospel unto Abraham, saying, in thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. So according to Galatians chapter 3, the reason all nations of the earth are going to be blessed through Abraham is through the gospel of Jesus Christ, and that by believing in Jesus Christ, we're blessed with faithful Abraham. He said in verse number 7, know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. Now look, I'm of faith. I believe in Jesus Christ. Therefore, according to the Bible, I'm of the children of Abraham. If you believe in Jesus Christ, you're a child of Abraham. And when God said to Abraham, in thee shall all nations of the earth be blessed, he's referring to the fact that people of all nations will believe on Jesus Christ, who Jesus Christ is the seed of Abraham. And so through Abraham and his seed, Jesus, the whole world could be blessed because anyone who believes in Jesus Christ will be blessed. And the Bible is real clear in Revelation that there will be people in heaven out of every nation. All nations are blessed through Abraham. Please, if you still actually believe that the Jews today, so-called, are God's chosen people, and that the modern day nation of Israel are the children of Abraham, please just read Galatians 3. Read the entire chapter. It goes on and on about this. It makes it clear there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you're all one in Christ Jesus. And if you be Christ's, then are you Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise. And even in this chapter, he quoted Genesis 12-3.
