To Abraham was given the promise that of his line of Saviour of the world should come: "In thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed." "He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ." Genesis 22:18; Galatians 3:16.

Abraham fik løfte om, at verdens Frelser skulle fødes i hans slægt: "I din slægt skal alle jordens folk velsignes!" 1Mos. 22,18. "Det hedder ikke "dine afkom," som om det gjaldt mange, men "dit afkom," som når der tales om én, og det er Kristus." Gal. 3,16.
