The promises through Abraham...
Deuteronomy 6:10-12
When God, your God, ushers you into the land He promised through your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to give you, you’re going to walk into large, bustling cities you didn’t build, well-furnished houses you didn’t buy, come upon wells you didn’t dig, vineyards and olive orchards you didn’t plant. When you take it all in and settle down, pleased and content, make sure you don’t forget how you got there—God brought you out of slavery in Egypt.
The Lord is so gracious, the promises that He made to Abraham, move from generation to generation. We are also beneficiaries, by faith. God promised Abraham to have many descendants that can't be counted, like the starts, and it's a blessing that we are part of that. The bible explains how blessed Abraham was, financially too, when you consider all that was in his position. Those blessings are an inheritance to us too.
This verse paints a picture of receiving the promises from the Lord, those that were promised through Abraham. All by the grace of the Lord. God is a giving Father, loving and considerate. We need to have the real picture of how God is, not angry and out to get us, but the One with open arms, ready to receive us (like the Father and prodigal son).
