Access the blessing.

Access the blessing.

“And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.”
Galatians 3:8-9

Before the gospel of Christ was preached, it was only the Jews that had access to the blessing. They had access to the blessing because of their link with Abraham and because they had the Law of Moses. On that basis they could access the blessing.

The Gentiles (referring to all non-Jews) at that time did not have access to the blessing. The Bible referring to the Gentiles outside of Christ says in Ephesians 2:12, “That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world” The Gentiles were under a curse outside of Christ.

When the gospel of Christ came, it gave all men both Jews and Gentiles equal opportunity to access the blessing by faith. Under the Law, the Gentiles did not have equal opportunity with the Jews, but through the justification of the faith of Christ every man has equal opportunity and access to God and the blessing. The Bible says, “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” Galatians 3:13-14. Now we all have access to the blessing and the blessing is now on us because of our faith in Jesus Christ. Praise God.

Confession.
I declare by my faith that Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law, being made a curse for me by His death on the cross. Now the blessing of Abraham is upon me and I have received the promise of the Spirit and access to all the benefits of salvation. Therefore I am justified, am righteous and I have peace with God, in Jesus' Name.

Genesis 18:18, Genesis 22:17-18,
Galatians 3:16, 26-29

Doing the Word.
Always declare the blessing over all that concerns you.
