The Blessings In The New Testament
We are talking of blessings and we already saw how Jesus delivered a bend over lady. When healing her Jesus calls her Abraham's daughter who is bound by the devil. This is the same for all of us who are oppressed by diseases. We all are capable of being delivered the same way. We just have to accept the Abrahamic blessings. In Psalms 112 Abraham's righteousness made him blessed. In Psalms 125 we see God will never let the devil prevent us from getting our deserved blessings.
Romans 4: 16-17
Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. 17 As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.”He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.
Abrahamic blessings are guaranteed in our lives.
Galatians 3:14
He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit
Galatians 4:1
What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate.
God redeemed us through Jesus to receive the Abrahamic blessings. Abraham was entirely blessed by God. In the same way we have that same right and are entitled by the word of God .
Genesis 1:21
And so God the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind.And God saw that it was good
This is the beginning of the blessings from Abraham in the old testament. Now we are going to look into how the blessings originated in the new testament through Jesus.
This started when Jesus taught the beatitudes on the sermon of the mount. This was the proclamation of blessings by Jesus .

Mathew 5:3
