No one will know the blessing of God outside of that blessing that comes through Jesus Christ, the seed of Abram. In coming to Jesus, we put ourselves in a position to know the blessing of God.

Like Abraham, God offered his only son as a sacrifice, but there was no substitute for Jesus. Jesus was God's answer to Isaac's question, "Where is the Lamb?"

The “protoevangelium” or “first gospel” is announced in the story of the first sin. Victory over sin and death for us comes through the ultimate descendant of Eve - Jesus Christ, the child of the first advent.
