Bible Question: What was the promise that God made to Abraham, that gives the Jewish people salvation? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Edd! Question: "What was the promise that God made to Abraham, that gives the Jewish people salvation?" When God told Abraham that he would be a blessing (Genesis 12:2), this is preeminently through Christ (Galatians 3:16), in whom salvation comes not only to the Jewish people, but to the whole world (1 John 2:2).
