# Covenant with Abraham
God made a covenant with Abraham (see: Genesis 12:1-3; 15:4-5; 17:1-8; 22:15-18).
God promised these things to Abraham:
* To make his descendants into a great nation.
*To make Abraham famous among all people.
*To bless the people who bless Abraham and his descendants.
*To curse the people who curse Abraham and his descendants.
*To bless all the people of the earth through Abraham.
*To give Abraham more descendants than can be counted.
*To give the land of Canaan to Abraham’s descendants.
*To be the God of Abraham and his descendants.
God commanded Abraham and his descendants to keep his covenant. They were to circumcise every male child. This was a sign of the covenant between God and Abraham and his descendants (see: Genesis 17:9-14).

#### More Information About This Topic
Jesus was a descendant of Abraham (see: Matthew 1:1, 16). Paul taught that Jesus fulfilled God’s promise to bless all people through Abraham (see: Galatians 3:8). Jesus did this by dying as a sacrifice so that anyone who believes in him can belong to God.
