All Blessed and Saved

"In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice...Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed...that is, Christ..."(Genesis 22:18; Galatians 3:16)

Because Abraham and Christ Jesus believed God He has promised them that “all nations of the earth shall be blessed”. It is because of Abraham's obedience,  not ours, that blessing comes to ALL! Further, it is because of "Jesus Christ's faith" that the blessing is "given".  Again, blessing is a done deal because of Abraham's obedience and Jesus Christ's faith.

However, we do not become aware that they we are "blessed" until, in the GRACE of God, we “believe”.

“For by Grace are you saved through FAITH and that not of yourselves, it is the GIFT of God...the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be GIVEN to them that believe. But now that faith has come...you are all sons of God (as opposed to children) through faith in Christ Jesus...heirs according to promise...to all who received him, to them gave he power to become the Sons of God,even to them who believed on his name” (Ephesians 2:8; Galatians 3:23-29)

There is coming a time when ALL will be given this faith to believe God for...

“Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God...As in Adam all die, even so in Christ, ALL shall be made alive, but each in their own order...that God may be ALL in ALL” (Philippians 2:10; 1 Corinthians 15:22-28)

ALL will be made alive in Christ Jesus just as ALL die in Adam. For a few this truth is given and understood in this life when we hear and believe the gospel of our salvation. Most people will not bow and confess until their resurrection and appearing before Christ Jesus at the great white throne. Then all will believe and "shall be saved".

"Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved, and thy house." (Acts 16:31)
