I like the way God preaches, it's real simple:
'And the scripture foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the Gospel unto Abraham, saying, in you shall all nations be blessed' Gal3:8
So a simple equation would be:- Gospel = blessings for everyone
But how do the blessings come to us?
'So then they which be of faith (in the gospel) are blessed with faithful Abraham' Gal3:9
It's believing the truth of the gospel that produces the blessings. Note that 'being of faith' implies a continuing belief in the gospel as opposed to first believing and then drifting off into works. It is not our long prayers or fasting or doing church activities but our continuing to believe in the gospel declaration that we have been made righteous! we have been qualified to receive God's very best gifts, his abundant blessings.
