Genesis 15:7-8
And he said to him, “I am the Lord who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess.” But he said, “O Lord God, how am I to know that I shall possess it?”
Genesis 15:17-18 (ESV Strong's)
17 When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. 18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates,
Abraham asked a legitimate question. Is there a sign on the earth that confirms a heavenly promise? God gave such a sign of His covenant with Abram.
He has given us such a sign for a new and better covenant with all of mankind. He passed through the broken body of His Son to establish the covenant that opens the door to heaven and provides access into the Holy of Holies. This is the promised land of the new covenant.
We have a body like His that we might follow Jesus through the flesh of the world and into the Spirit of God. It is our walk with Him that says yes to His invitation.
