LDS The Abrahamic Covenant

[Yodas_Prodigy1]

Cold we get a LDS to explain how the Abrahamic Covenant impacts their religion?
Verse by verse, of course...

Genesis 12 New English Translation (NET Bible)

12 Now the Lord said to Abram,
“Go out from your country, your relatives, and your father’s household
to the land that I will show you.
2 Then I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you,
and I will make your name great,
so that you will exemplify divine blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
but the one who treats you lightly I must curse,
and all the families of the earth will bless one another by your name.”

12 Now the Lord said to Abram,
“Go out from your country, your relatives, and your father’s household
to the land that I will show you.
2 Then I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you,
and I will make your name great,
so that you will exemplify divine blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
but the one who treats you lightly I must curse,
and all the families of the earth will bless one another by your name.”

First lets review what we believe about the Abrahamic Covenant:

(Guide to the Scriptures | A Abrahamic Covenant.:Entry)

ABRAHAMIC COVENANT. See also Abraham; Circumcision; Covenant

Abraham received the gospel and was ordained to the higher priesthood (D&C 84:14; Abr. 2:11), and he entered into celestial marriage, which is the covenant of exaltation (D&C 131:1–4; 132:19, 29). Abraham received a promise that all of the blessings of these covenants would be offered to his mortal posterity (D&C 132:29–31; Abr. 2:6–11). Together, these covenants and promises are called the Abrahamic covenant. The restoration of this covenant was the restoration of the gospel in the last days, for through it all the nations of the earth are blessed (Gal. 3:8–9, 29; D&C 110:12; 124:58; Abr. 2:10–11).

Now the first verse

Now the Lord said to Abram,
“Go out from your country, your relatives, and your father’s household
to the land that I will show you.
Abram is told to take his family and go to a land that he will be shown. This is pretty self explanatory.

“Go out from your country, your relatives, and your father’s household

2 Then I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you,
and I will make your name great,
so that you will exemplify divine blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
but the one who treats you lightly I must curse,
and all the families of the earth will bless one another by your name.”

Now the second verse:
2 Then I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you,
and I will make your name great,
so that you will exemplify divine blessing.

God will make Abram into a great nation, He will make his name great and Abram will exemplify divine blessing.

Another verse that is pretty much self explanatory.

and I will make your name great,
so that you will exemplify divine blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
but the one who treats you lightly I must curse,
and all the families of the earth will bless one another by your name.”

Now for verse 3

3 I will bless those who bless you,
but the one who treats you lightly I must curse,
and all the families of the earth will bless one another by your name.”

Those who are grateful for the blessings they receive through Abram will be blessed the ungrateful God will curse. Through Abram's ( Abraham's) name all of the families of the earth will bless one another. This is one of the greatest blessings I have ever received. I do not care to elaborate on it as it is personal and sacred.
