Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him,
"I am God Almighty;
Walk before Me, and be blameless." -Genesis 17:1
Wow. Look at that last bit - and that's the bit that starts the covenant. "Walk before me, and be blameless." It's the impossible command.
Except it's not, because the Lord had the end in mind from the beginning. Abram was the one whose progeny was going to be a blessing for all the nations. And the seed of Abraham was Jesus. And Jesus makes it possible to walk before God and be blameless.
All the way back in Genesis, it's there. So cool.
Peace of Christ to you,
