Lent: Day 28 40 days of repentance, renewal, and returning to God

God's Promise to Abraham and His Descendants

When we receive Jesus Christ, our new life begins as Abraham’s descendants, the heirs according to promise. Then, what is this promise?

Ever since the fall of Adam and Eve, the land fell under Satan’s dominion and became corrupt with sin.

To restore this land, God sought a man of faith who would obey His Word.

At last, after 20 generation from Adam, God found Abraham, the man of faith. God then gave Abraham the Promised Land, entrusting him with the salvation providence to build His kingdom here on earth.

God made His will for the Kingdom of God very clear to Abraham from the beginning.

Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go forth from your country, and from your relatives and from your father's house, TO THE LAND WHICH I WILL SHOW YOU;

As Abraham’s descendants, we received the same promise.

God called us to build His kingdom in our lives.

Hence, various domains in our lives are also God’s strongholds that He has set apart for building His Kingdom.

We have this noble calling to expand God’s Kingdom on earth by spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ’s precious blood shed on the cross.

Genesis 1:28 God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it;
and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
Acts 1:8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."

Question for Day 28

Can you think of an incidence in which our father Abraham also expanded God’s kingdom by spreading the gospel of the Cross?
