Paul take us back to Genesis 15 and the promise God made there to Abraham. Starting with very man that the Jews claimed gave them a separate and distinct classification from all the world, Paul will demonstrate it is just the opposite—That in Abraham a faith is broadcast to all the world by which all may be right with God and in relationship with Him. Abraham didn't establish a distinct race or nation of people who had a singular claim on God and his blessing. Through Abraham God generated a work that would produce multiple races or nations that would come to exist or rise up in the blessing of God's promises. Like Abraham, the Israelites are starting point for the unfolding of this blessing; they are a case study throughout the Bible from beginning to end of God's faithfulness to bring this blessing and promise to complete fruition. But they are not alone... in the promises of faith and of life are to come to a multitude of nations.
