How do we know Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham as He is the promised Seed through whom all nations are blessed (Galatians 3:16).

The apostle Paul clarifies in Galatians 3:16 that 'The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed; Scripture does not say 'and to seeds,' meaning many people, but 'and to your seed,' meaning one person, who is Christ.' This emphasizes that Jesus is the singular fulfillment of the covenant promises made to Abraham. Throughout the Old Testament, God's dealings with Abraham foreshadow the coming of Christ, from the specific promises about his descendants to the sacrificial themes seen in the binding of Isaac (Genesis 22). Thus, understanding Jesus as the fulfillment of these promises is crucial to recognizing the continuity throughout Scripture and the redemptive narrative that unfolds from Genesis to the New Testament.
