Description
Overview
Deepen your congregation’s or study group’s understanding of the bedrock of biblical faith. This comprehensive study package provides a verse-by-verse exploration of Genesis 15:7-21, where God moves beyond words to ratify His eternal promise to Abram through a solemn blood covenant.
Rather than focusing on human effort, this lesson highlights the unconditional faithfulness of God, the significance of the “Pathway of Blood,” and the prophetic precision of the 400-year sojourn in Egypt. This is an essential resource for those who want to understand the legal and spiritual foundations of the Land of Israel and the nature of God’s immutability.
