From Eden to Eternity - Session 3 (Abrahamic Covenant)

Why does the New Testament talk so much about Abraham?

Why does Paul use Abraham to explain salvation by faith? Why does Peter connect Jesus to God's promises made thousands of years earlier? And what does Abraham have to do with us today?

In Session 3 of From Eden to Eternity, we explore the Abrahamic Covenant and discover how God's promises to one man became the foundation of His plan to redeem the world.

In this lesson you'll learn:

• Why God called Abraham out of Ur

• The significance of the promised land

• The meaning of God's promises of land, seed, and blessing

• How the covenant was "cut" in Genesis 15

• Why Abraham's faith was counted as righteousness

• How the sacrifice of Isaac points forward to Christ

• Why Paul uses Abraham to explain justification by faith

• How Gentiles are included in God's promises through Jesus Christ

• The connection between Abraham, Israel, the Church, and the gospel

Most importantly, you'll see that the Abrahamic Covenant is not merely about one family or one nation—it is God's unfolding plan to bring blessing to all nations through the promised Seed, Jesus Christ.
