How do we know that the promises to Abraham apply to Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The promises made to Abraham are fulfilled in Christ and extended to all who have faith in Him, as outlined in Galatians 3:16.

The Apostle Paul makes it clear in Galatians 3:16 that the promises made to Abraham were ultimately fulfilled in Christ. Paul writes, 'Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, and to thy seed, which is Christ.' This establishes that the blessings of Abraham are not confined to physical descendants but are accessible to all who partake in the faith of Abraham through Jesus Christ. Consequently, Christians, as children of the promise, inherit the blessings attributed to Abraham, emphasizing that salvation is grounded in faith, not ethnicity. This reinforces sovereign grace theology's emphasis on grace through faith as the means to partake in the redemptive promises of God.
