Study for week ending February 1

God's covenant promise with Abraham was not limited to Abraham alone, but extended through his descendants to all the families of earth. This week we look at God's promise to be Abraham's shield, and how that commitment extends to all people through the messianic promise. We also examine the the human obligation under this covenant, and how that applies to us today.
