Job was blessed even more by God in the end. I believe it was because of Jesus, who was born because of Abraham. I am also blessed because of Abraham’s descendant, Jesus, my Savior. Is there anything I should not do so others can be blessed because of Abraham?
A Prophecy of Christ and Fulfillment
Genesis 12:3 (EXB)
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and I will place a curse on those who •harm [or curse] you.
And all the •people [families; clans] on earth
will be blessed through you [C the promises of the Abrahamic covenant].”
Acts 3:25-26
Amplified Bible (AMP)
25 You are the descendants (sons) of the prophets and the heirs of the covenant which God made and gave to your forefathers, saying to Abraham, And in your Seed (Heir) shall all the families of the earth be blessed and benefited.26 It was to you first that God sent His Servant and Son Jesus, when He raised Him up [[a]provided and gave Him for us], to bless you in turning every one of you from your wickedness and evil ways.
Psalm 77:13-14
Amplified Bible (AMP)
13 Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary [in holiness, away from sin and guilt]. Who is a great God like our God?14 You are the God Who does wonders; You have demonstrated Your power among the peoples.
Proverbs 16:11
Amplified Bible (AMP)
11 A just balance and scales are the Lord’s; all the weights of the bag are His work [established on His eternal principles].
But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God). Galatians 5:16 AMP
