Blessed to Bless!

Genesis 12:1-2 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; and I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and so you shall be a blessing;

Just as God choose to bless Abram He has chosen to bless you. When we think of blessings our minds seem to automatically head down the road of material blessings. And part of God's blessing in Abram's life and in our lives is material blessing, but it's not the greater part.

The blessing to Abram was a deep and rich relationship with God. God promises Abram that he was going to be a blessing to the nations of the world. Certainly Abram was not wealthy enough to bless the nations materially! It was the faith of Abram that would bring blessing upon the nations. The same faith that we exercise when we put our trust and confidence in the person of God's Son, Jesus Christ, to deliver us from the grip of sin and death.

God blessed Abram so that he could bless. God has blessed you so that you could bless. What greater gift could you give to someone than eternal life. If you've come into a relationship with Jesus Christ, God has given you eternal life. The affects of sin have been broken from off your life. Pass the blessing along. Tell someone else what God has done for you through His only begotten Son.

Pass it forward!
