Study or visualize the sinks you have in the rooms of your home. Connected to the sinks there are pipes, faucets, and hoses. Considering these fixtures, what do they all have in common? Yes, they help to bring water into our living environment.
Someone might ask, “Which of these items is most important?” Well, from one perspective, they’re all important. Without any one of them, the water doesn’t make it into the sink. Yet, the water is what’s most important; the other items only create a means through which the water can flow.
God’s plan of salvation included Abraham and his descendants—ultimately the nation of Israel—as His spiritual vessel. God professed that Abraham would be the “father of many nations” to include kings (Gen. 17:4-6) and ultimately the King of Kings. Through this bloodline, God would bring a Savior, Jesus, and through Jesus, God would bring hope and reconciliation to the whole world.
In essence, God promised to bless all people through His chosen people.
The book of Genesis records how God promised Abraham that through him, blessing would come to the world. Today’s session features Bible verses important to laying the foundation for God’s purpose and plan.
