Galatians3:14
14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ , that we might receive the promise of the spirit through faith .
The Apostle, by the blessing of Abraham, here understands those spiritual blessings of Iustification, Reconciliation, and Adoption, which came to Abraham upon his believing, and the imputation of righteousness thereupon unto him. Christ (he saith) was made a curse for us, that all those blessings through him might come on the Gentiles; and so all the Nations of the Earth might be blessed in him. Particularly
that the Gentiles might receive the promise of the Spirit; which promise is not to be interpreted so narrowly, as only to signifie its miraculous gifts, but to be extended to all those gifts and habits of grace which are the effects of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of Believers, whether sanctifying or sealing them; which Holy Spirit is received upon persons believing: See chap. 4.6. Rom. 8.13.
