What if I told you that it's not just Abraham?

Book of Mormon: 2 Nephi Chapter 9

 1 And now, my beloved brethren, I have read these things that ye might know concerning the ^acovenants of the Lord that he has covenanted with all the house of Israel—

      Remember Abraham?  From Genesis and how the Lord promised him many great blessings if he kept Covenants (a covenant is a 2 way promise made between God and man) with the Lord??  Below are a bunch of scriptures from Genesis about the Covenant made with Abraham and if he would keep his Covenant  then God would bless him exceedingly!
     But you know what the best part is?  Read Genesis 12:3 below....all families are eligible to receive the same blessings promised to Abraham!!! When we are baptized and make Covenants with the Lord, we are adopted into the house of Israel and as we keep our covenants we are guiding ourselves into a position to receive myriads of blessings.

Old Testament: Genesis 12

 2 And I will make of thee a ^agreat ^bnation, and I will ^cbless thee, and make thy ^dname great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

 3 And I will ^abless them that bless thee, and ^bcurse him that^ccurseth thee: and in thee shall all ^dfamilies of the earth be^eblessed.

Genesis 15:5

 5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and ^atell the ^bstars, if thou be able to ^cnumber them: and he said unto him, So shall thy ^dseed be.

Genesis 17

 1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord^aappeared to ^bAbram, and said unto him, I am the ^cAlmighty God; ^dwalk before me, and be thou ^eperfect.

 5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be ^aAbraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

 6 And I will make thee exceeding ^afruitful, and I will make^bnations of thee, and ^ckings shall come out of thee.

 7 ^aAnd I will establish my ^bcovenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an ^ceverlasting covenant, to be a ^dGod unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

 8 And I will ^agive unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the ^blandwherein thou art a ^cstranger, all the ^dland of ^eCanaan, for an everlasting ^fpossession; and I will be their ^gGod.

 9 ¶And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

     Some pretty great blessings promised in these scriptures, right?  I will take ALL please and be happy to have my children benefit from them as well!

Love,
