Connection
Blessing for all nations
God promised Abraham that all the families of the earth would be blessed through him. Paul says this promise was the Gospel announced ahead of time, fulfilled in Christ.
The New Testament explicitly frames this as fulfillment.
Read the earlier witness
I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” Read the later witness
Why FaithGraph draws this line
Jesus explicitly fulfills Genesis 12:3.
Paul writes that the Scripture announced the Gospel in advance to Abraham with the words "all nations will be blessed through you", and identifies Christ as Abraham's offspring.
