“I WILL make my covenant” (Gen 17:2). The covenant had already been given (Gen. 15:18), but it is here ratified and enlarged. This covenant was unconditional. It has a threefold fulfilment as to the seed. (1) In Abram, being the father of many nations. “To the Jew, the Moslem, and the Christian alike, the prophet Abraham is a common ancestor. Trace these three forms of belief to their fountain-head, and they meet in the tent of that ancient confessor.” (2) In Christ being the “Son of Abraham” (Matt. 1:1), for He was the promised “seed,” as Paul says in speaking of the promise given by God to Abram, “He saith not, and to seeds, as of many; but as of one, and to thy seed, which is Christ” (Gal. 3:16). (3) In the believer in Christ, for they who believe in Christ are said to be blessed with believing Abram, and to be his spiritual children. “If ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed” (Gal. 3:29).
Notice the six “I wills.”
