"… Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath." Heb. 6:16-17
God promised Abraham that he would receive blessings and that he in turn would become a blessing to all the families of the earth. After Abraham had demonstrated his faithfulness to the Lord in offering his son Isaac (Genesis 22), God confirmed the promise with an oath. This is the event referred to by the writer of Hebrews, who affirms that the reason for the oath was to make the "unchanging nature of his purpose very clear." God is committed by oath to bless His people and through them to bless every family (people group) of the earth.
Father, thank You for making Your purposes so clear to us, heirs of the promise to Abraham.
