Genesis 1:27, 28
Genesis 12: 1-3 I will make you a great nation. I will bless
you and make your name great; so you shall be a blessing; I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will
curse. In you all families on the earth shall be blessed. NASB
Galatians 3:1-14 Faith Brings Righteousness
vs6-9 Even so (just as) Abraham believed God, and it was
reckoned to him as righteousness. Therefore, be sure (know) that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.
And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles (nations) by faith, preached the gospel beforehand
to Abraham, saying, "All nations shall be blessed in you." So then those who are of faith are blessed with
Abraham, the believer. NASB
vs13, 14 Christ 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"-in order that in Christ Jesus the bledding
of Abraham might come (occur) to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. NASB
Galatians 3:16 - Now the promises were spoken to Abraham
and to his seed. He does not say, "And to seeds," as referring to many, but rather to one,
"And to your seed," that is, Christ. NASB
Romans 4 - the whole chapter - especially verse 16 & 17 - For
this reason it is by faith, that it might be in accordance with grace, in order that the promise may be
certain to all the descentants, not only to those who are under the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham,
who is the father of all. (as it is written, "A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS HAVE I MADE YOU") in the sight of Him whom he
believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist. NASB
