Jehovah blesses Abram
Posted : 29 Mar, 2014 01:31 PM

Hello everyone:



Many times I have heard about the blessing of Abraham,yet when i read the Word of GOD Almighty i see that 'Abram' not 'ABRAHAM' was blessed of YHWH.

Gen 11:26 And Terah lived seventy years and fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

Gen 11:27 And these are the generations of Terah: Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran fathered Lot.

Gen 11:28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans.

Gen 11:29 And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai. And the name of Nahor's wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.

Gen 12:1 And Jehovah had said to Abram, Go out from your land and from your kindred, and from your father's house, to the land which I will show you.

Gen 12:2 And I will make of you a great nation. And I will bless you and make your name great; and you will be a blessing.

Gen 12:3 And I will bless those who bless you, and curse the one despising you. And in you all families of the earth shall be blessed.



My question is this;

When did YHWH pronounce His blessing upon ABRAM,when ABRAM was a 'Jew' a 'Hebrew' or as a 'GENTILE'.

Was ABRAM an unbeliever or a believer when YHWH pronounced His blessing upon ABRAM.



Shalom

Romans 2:28



For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical.



Do you understand now who are JEWS/Israel?

"What does circumcision have to do with Abram being Blessed of GOD Almighty in the Scripture i have posted."



My response:

5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his FAITH is accounted for righteousness, 6 just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness APART from works:

7 �Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,

And whose sins are covered;

8 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin.�



Abraham Justified Before Circumcision



9 Does this BLESSEDNESS then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
