God's Covenant with Abraham Being Fulfilled Today
5 He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring[d] be.” Genesis 15:5
There are 15 million jews nowadays (World Jewish population on eve of New Year – 14.7 million - Haaretz
https://www.haaretz.com › Jewish World) and humans can only see around 10000 stars with a naked eye. We can see that God's covenant with Abraham had been fulfilled a long time ago. -
Personal Reflection
6 Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness. Genesis 15:6 From this passage, it shows how Abram trusted God. Myself, I've been believing the Lord and crediting him as righteousness since a young age - shows that I've loved God and trusted Him just like Abram.
