God cut up His one and only Son into pieces and gave these promises, say “I will do what I promised.” All our sins are forgiven and forgotten. God Himself sanctifies us by writing His laws on our hearts. He personally teaches us. God will never stop from favoring us. And God is forever our God and Father and We are His children and people.
This last promise carries a huge package of goodies and blessings. It is from the blessing and gospel of Abraham. Paul defines this promise as God giving the world to Abraham (romans 4:13) and the baptism of the Spirit and miracle (Galatians 3). By defining the God’s blessing to Abraham by the words and context of Abrahams life, this blessing to be His God and Abraham His people, includes all sorts of favors for every aspect of life, including supernal health, military victories and prosperity.
Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for the one who draws near to Him must believe that He exists and rewards those who seek Him. Hebrews 11:6
The first time God declares someone righteousness in His sight has nothing to do with sin or forgiveness but Abraham believing God will give him all the rewards and blessings God promised. At his faith for good things, God points His finger at Abraham and declares “you are righteous in my sight.”
What if Abraham said he only believes God will give him a son, but doubted that God will make his name famous, that God would prosper him and doubted God gave the world to be his inheritance (Romans 4:13)?
If Abraham did this God would not have declared him righteous in his sight, for James says if you doubt do not expect to receive.
Likewise if you believe God will forgive you but doubt He will heal, prosper and reward you, then do not expect to have God’s pleasure on you, for to please God you must believe He will reward you the good things He promised. How can you be a child of Abraham? How can God declare you righteous if you doubt He will greatly bless you like He promised?
Our identity is part of Abrahams’ blessing. Our definition is that the way God was a Father to Abraham and the way Abraham was singled out to be His people, so are we defined in the same category. God is our God and We are His people.
The blood contract guarantees we can make demands on God to always favor us, not because we forced God to do so, but because He wanted us to know the absolute certainty to receive the good things we ask for. We can make demands on God to heal, prosper and make our names great, because we are sons of Abraham. Jesus said it was necessary to heal a daughter of Abraham on the sabbath. We can make this same demand on God. We can say it is necessary for Him to heal us and give us success because the Contract says we have these promised blessings. God went so far out of His way to make us have this guarantee, that gave up His one and only Son to prove it. God likes when we are confident to ask based on the Contract. Beggers are outsiders, but sons ask in confidence because they are indeed insiders.
God can do the same to us. God can call us to help our family member or to a ministry, by the Contract, and we are bound to follow. We are glad to do so, just as God is happy to be called on the bases of His Contract.
This Contract is a permeant definition about us and God. It stands forever. It is who we are.
