“And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;”
I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed. The Abrahamic promises — stars, land, blessing for all nations — are explicitly given to Isaac. Galatians 3:16 identifies the singular offspring as Christ. The covenant promise is renewed, extended, and confirmed in each generation until it reaches its fulfillment in the one offspring who blesses all nations. The application: each generation receives the covenant promise as if it were new, because for them it is.
