(Deuteronomy 28:1-13 NLT; Genesis 15:1-6; Galatians 3:1-9,10, 13-14; Romans 4:1-4, 13-1)
– The promises of God and the blessings of God do not come from us doing right.
– The promises of God were purchased by Jesus on Calvary’s Cross. They were already paid for.
– We don’t receive the promises by our behavior or our obedience. We receive them by faith.
– We are obeying but not believing.
– Abraham believed God. The focus is on his belief, not his obedience.
– We do not receive the Holy Spirit because of our obedience, but because of our belief.
– When we look to earn God’s blessing, we actually put a curse on ourselves.
– Our obedience will flow from our belief.
– If we are not going to believe God, we are not going to hear from Him.
