“And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.”
God continues: through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me. Galatians 3:16 identifies the singular offspring as Christ — the covenant promise of Genesis 22:18 finds its ultimate fulfillment not in a multitude but in a single person, who is then the source of blessing for all nations. Acts 3:25 quotes this verse as Peter preaches in Jerusalem. The application: the obedience of Genesis 22 is the covenant act that secures the blessing for all nations. The blessing that reaches you through Jesus traces back to this moment on Moriah.
