In Genesis 12:1–3, Jehovah makes two foundational promises. First, He promises Abraham, Sarah, and their family, “I will bless _______ [one word].” Second, He promises Abraham, Sarah, and their family, “In thee shall _______ _______ [two words] of the earth be blessed.” These two interrelated promises are the foundation of what we call the Abrahamic covenant.

Genesis 12:2 contains a declaration from Jehovah that Abraham and Sarah’s “seed” (descendants) will “be a blessing.” While Genesis is vague regarding the nature of that blessing, the expanded version of the promise in Abraham 2:9, explains that Abraham and Sarah’s family will be a “blessing” by “bearing” (carrying/bringing) what unto all nations?
Ministry and priesthood d.
The promises in Abraham 2:8–11 are addressed to Abraham and Sarah’s “seed” (descendants) who will later be known by the name of Israel. However, Abraham 2:10 explains that “as many as receive this Gospel shall be called after they name,” meaning they will also be numbered among the house of Israel. Affirming their new family identity, as these non-Israelites are “accounted” (adopted as) Abraham and Sarah’s seed, they will refer to Abraham “as their” what?

Genesis 12:3 contains a declaration from Jehovah that through Abraham and Sarah’s family “shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Unfortunately, Genesis 12:3 does not clarify what this means.

In endnote/footnote #2, Pres. Nelson defines the new and everlasting covenant as “the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ” and teaches that it “includes all ordinances and covenants necessary for our salvation.” According to Pres. Nelson, in what sense is this covenant “new,” and why is it called “everlasting”?
It is “new” whenever the Lord renews or restores it, and it is “everlasting” because it does not change.

Latter-day Saints often speak of two covenants: the new and everlasting covenant and the Abrahamic covenant. President Nelson teaches that these two concepts “are essentially the _______.”

hesed
(ד ֶס ֶח).
j.
“Once you and I have made a covenant with God,” President Nelson teaches, “our relationship with Him becomes much closer than before our covenant. Now we are bound together.” Because of that covenant, what will we “never exhaust”?
