We look at these aspects of God’s promise to Abram in introductory form only. They will all be dealt with much detail in later chapters. Genesis 13:14-17 “And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered. Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.” A. ABRAM’S RECEIVES PROMISES FROM GOD. 1. GOD PROMISES TO GIVE HIM A LAND. God gave Abram the land of Canaan. He was instructed to look out across the land in every direction; it was all his. We will deal with this more in a later chapter. 2. GOD PROMISES TO MAKE OF HIM A GREAT NATION. Of course God did this as well. “I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth.” (Genesis 13:16) 3. GOD PROMISES TO MAKE HIS NAME GREAT. Abram became one of the richest men in the ancient world. He was called a prince amongst the peoples of the land. His name has been echoed by the people of God for four thousand years. 4. IN ABRAM ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH WOULD BE BLESSED. (Genesis 12:3; 22:18) Genesis 12:3 “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.” a. THE BLESSING OF ABRAM’S TESTIMONY. God intended that Abraham would be a living witness to the nations concerning what a relationship of faith between God and man is. God had chosen to use Abram to reveal Himself to the lost who lived around him. b. THE BLESSING OF ABRAM’S SEED. (Genesis 22:18) The Seed, singular, of Abram was Jesus Christ Himself. In Christ salvation would be brought to all nations. All of this boiled down to one thing. B. ABRAM’S BELIEVING OF GOD. (Genesis 15:6). Romans 4:3 “Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.” 5
God stepped into Abraham’s life in the midst of his sin and called him out for Himself. Abram becomes a tremendous picture of God’s working by grace in the heart of an individual. Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God.” Abram believed, he trusted God. It is the same requirement for salvation today as then. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” (Acts 16:31) Is God, speaking to you? Where will you spend eternity? Do you know you will go to heaven when you take your last breath on this earth? The Bible says you can know. 6
