PROMISED
BLESSING
Text: Galatians 3:9-14 "So then
they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
10.
For as many
as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is
every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book
of the law to do them.
11.
But that no
man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The
just shall live by faith.
12.
And the law
is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13.
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:
14.
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
3:10 "For as many as are of the works of the
law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that
continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do
them (Deuteronomy 27:26 from the Septuagint)."
Deuteronomy
28:15-20 "But it shall come to pass, if thou
wilt not hearken (the just hearken) unto the voice of the
LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I
command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee (the
unjust), and overtake thee: 16. Cursed shalt thou be
in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
17. Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. 18. Cursed
shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase
of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 19. Cursed shalt thou
be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when
thou goest out. 20. The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation,
and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed,
and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby
thou hast forsaken me."
Galatians
3:11-12 "But that no man is justified by
the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just
shall live by faith.”
Romans
8:33-34 "Who shall lay any thing
to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34. Who is he that condemneth [sentences]? It
is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen
(so faith will work 1 Cor. 15:14).."

it to his cross;"

all those things which are commanded you (just),
say, We are unprofitable servants: (the charge) we have
done that which was our duty to do (no faith)."

25:30 "And cast ye the unprofitable servant
into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing
of teeth."

we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe
[of faith] to [leading to] the saving [acquired possession] of
the soul."
Hebrews
11:6 "But without faith it is impossible
to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that
he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

30:19 "I call heaven and earth to record this
day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and

live:"

the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.”

23. His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in
any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed
of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God
giveth thee for an inheritance.”
2
Corinthians 5:21 "For he hath made him to be sin
for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness
of God (which is by faith) in him."

3:14 “That
the blessing of Abraham might (might not) come on the Gentiles
through Jesus Christ; that we might (might not) receive the

seed may live:"
Romans
4:13-14 "For the promise, that he
should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his
seed, through the (ceremonial) law, but through the
righteousness of faith. 14. For if they which are of the (ceremonial)
law be heirs (inherit the promise), faith (pleasing
God and resurrection) is made void, and the promise (and
not the common salvation) made of none effect: (null and
void)"

of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises
(two promises, heavenly and earthly).”
