2 | Is the "Promised Land" my heart/mind? | Gen 12:1 | Morant61 | 210331 | ||
Greetings BenSerna! One has to be careful about how historical narratives are applied, if at all. The specifics of Gen. 12:1 were addressed to Abraham, and Abraham alone. So, there is no direct application to us today. However, there are principles which can be drawn from this verse and other passages of Scripture which can be applied to us today. For instance: 1) That historically God provides direction and guidance to individuals. 2) That God keeps His promises. 3) That obedience to God is an important aspect of our spiritual walk with God. However, there is no direct application. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

3 | Is the "Promised Land" my heart/mind? | Gen 12:1 | AMO14 | 210407 | ||
There is absolutely direct application for believers today!!! In Verse 7 YHWH proceeds to tell Abram that He will give this land to his descendants. This land is promised. In Galatians 3:29 it states that if you are in Messiah then you are an heir according to the promise and a descendant of Abraham. The Messiah's kingdom will be established in this land for a thousand years and as ambassadors for this coming kingdom we look forward to dwelling with Him there. | ||||||

Greetings AMO14! Good point! I forgot about the future kingdom. I stand corrected. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
