Today's Verses and Footnotes: Gal. 3:1-14

Key Verse:
Gal. 3:14 In order that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Filling the Blanks:

The physical aspect of the blessing that God promised to Abraham was the ( ) (Gen. 12:7; 13:15; 17:8; 26:3-4), which was a type of the all-inclusive ( )(see Col. 1:12 and note 2). Since Christ is eventually realized as the all-inclusive life-giving ( ) (1 Cor. 15:45; 2 Cor. 3:17), the ( ) of the promised Spirit corresponds with the blessing of the land promised to Abraham. Actually, the Spirit as the realization of Christ in our experience is the good land as the source of God's bountiful supply for us to enjoy.(See Gal.3:14 note 3)
