Daily Devotion With Pastor Dan Nickerson – March 22nd, 2024
(Galatians 3:13-14)…..Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galatians tells us Christ redeemed us, so that the blessing of Abraham might come upon us. What were the blessings Abraham enjoyed? He was blessed in very many ways by God, financially, physically, family, descendants, crops, land, etc. In Romans, Abraham was promised the world for his descendants, and we who have faith in Christ Jesus are those descendants. To me that is the best part for me a Gentile. (Romans 4:13) says, …..For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. It should not be hard to believe that Jesus Christ is heir of this entire world. And remember that (Romans 8:17) says we are joint heirs with Christ.
(Galatians 3:9) says,…..So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
Abraham’s blessings do not come on everyone – only people of faith. Abraham was blessed because of his faith in God’s Word. We must receive these blessings by faith, also. So, if we refuse to believe they are for us, we will not have them. Faithfully speaking anyway.
