The spreading of Avraham’s blessing

Gal 3:6–14

6 Avraham believed in God and was declared guiltless as a result.[ref] 7 So now anyone who exercises faith is a descendant of Avraham.[ref] 8 The writers of the scriptures foresaw that God was going to make non-Jews guiltless through faith when he promised to Avraham that all the nations would be blessed through him,[ref] 9 so those who have faith that Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) is the messiah will be blessed just as Avraham was blessed for believing God.

10 All those who strive to be saved by obeying the law are under a curse, because it’s written that ‘everyone is cursed who doesn’t live by and fulfil everything that’s been written down in the law scroll’.[ref] 11 It’s clear that the law can’t make anyone guiltless in God’s view, because it’s written that ‘those who are guiltless will live by faith’.[ref] 12 And the law doesn’t produce faith, but ‘the person who obeys these things is the one who will live’.[ref]

13 The messiah saved us from the law’s curse by becoming the curse for our sake, because it’s written, ‘anyone who’s hung on a tree is cursed’.[ref] 14 He paid the price for us so that the blessing for Avraham would also reach the non-Jews through the messiah Yeshua and we’d all be able to receive the spirit through faith.
