Genesis 22:16-18
– v. 17: God promised again to bless Abraham and give him many descendants—“as the stars of the heaven and as the sand on the seashore.” God also said Abraham’s seed would possess the gates of their enemies . This means Abraham’s family would be strong and successful. When we give our best to God, He can return blessings far greater than what we have given up (Matthew 19:29 a). v. 18: God said that through Abraham’s seed, all nations of the earth would be blessed . This points to Jesus Christ, who would come from Abraham’s family and bring blessing to the world (Galatians 3:16 b).
