What does the Bible say about the promise made to Abraham?

Answered in 1 source

The promise made to Abraham was given through the righteousness of faith, not by the law.

In Romans 4:13-16, Paul explains that the promise given to Abraham was not through the law but through the righteousness of faith. This implies that the promise extends beyond just the Jewish people, reaching all who come to God by faith like Abraham. It signifies God's intention to bless all nations through the lineage of faith rather than legalistic adherence to the law, which was added later to reveal sin and our need for grace.
