The blessings of Abraham coming upon YOU!!! Write them in here

[Questioning Christian]

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Galatians 3:13-14

Obviously, "the blessing of Abraham" means more than just receiving the Holy Spirit. So what is entailed in "the blessing of Abraham", in your estimation?

I don't really want a debate on healing.
I just want a listing of blessings here for edification and encouragement.
If you don't like the listing of healing here, just ignore it!!!

So ...

List away!!!

'i will make you into a great nation'....

the tanakh says that god's desire is for Isra'el to become a 'nation of priests'. Later Paul talks of non-jews being grafted into Isra'el by faith, the faith of Abraham, making us partakers of the divine promises. The new testament then goes on to say about the congregation of faith, 'i will make you a holy nation, a royal priesthood'.

If we as remnant isra'el and believing gentiles are the heirs to this promise, how are we to act out our calling as priests??? What are the offerings we should bring???? What are the sacrifices??? How is righteousness displayed in everyday life (not talking about imputed here)????

Um, QC, the redemption that is in Jesus Christ is the blessing of Abraham that comes upon the Gentiles.

13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree&#8221, 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (Galatian 3)

Jesus became a curse for us so we can be free from the curses as described in Deuteromy 28.

Jesus became a curse for us so we can be free from the curses as described in Deuteromy 28.

Christ became a curse (sing.) for us, not curses (pl.) for us. In particular, he bore in Himself the “curse of the law” (Gal. 3.30). The curse of the law is the judgment of God against sin. That is the curse “Jesus became.” The curses of Deut. 28 have nothing to do with it.
