G.W. North emphasizes the significance of the covenant established with Abraham, contrasting the old and new covenants. He highlights that God's desire is to be intimately connected with His people, wanting to be their God and for them to be His people. North explains that the covenant is not merely about rules but about a deep relationship with God, who desires to reveal Himself fully to us. He encourages believers to understand their identity in Christ and the importance of faith in God's promises, as exemplified by Abraham's trust in God's word. The sermon sets the stage for a deeper exploration of God's covenantal relationship with humanity.

Charles Finney emphasizes that the blessing of Abraham has been extended to the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, highlighting that this blessing is the Holy Spirit, which is to be received by faith. He explains that the New Covenant fulfills the promises made to Abraham, allowing all nations to partake in the spiritual blessings originally intended for Abraham's descendants. Finney stresses that this promise is not only for the Jews but for all who believe, and it is essential to understand that the Holy Spirit is a gift to be received through faith, not works. He encourages believers to claim this promise actively and to recognize the urgency of receiving the Holy Spirit in their lives. The sermon concludes with a call to action for Christians to embrace their inheritance as children of promise and to seek the Holy Spirit earnestly.
