What exactly was promised to Abraham in Genesis? Did God arbitrarily pick Abraham and decide to give him the land of Canaan? The Bible says that God is no respecter of persons; meaning He doesn’t favour one person over the other.

Paul says in Galatians that the gospel was preached to Abraham and the gospel promise is that the meek shall inherit the earth. Abraham was looking for a better country whose builder and maker was God and we are told that while living on this earth, Abraham did not receive one particle of his inheritance.

The conclusion presented in this booklet is that Abraham was presented the promise of the land through the promise of the gospel found in Christ Jesus.

The implications of this are that there are no favoured people living in the land of Israel at the present time. The claims of the land are only in Christ and the promises of the gospel. The implications of this are far reaching.

May we seek that better country with Abraham through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
