What is an Abrahamic Faith?

Answer 1

The Abrahamic faiths are those religions that believe that they are actual or spiritual successors of the Patriarch, Abraham. They also teach belief in the God of Abraham.

The Abrahamic faiths are Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Answer 2

The Covenant given to Abraham by God is quite extensive but can be read about in the Book of Genesis 12:1-4 and reaffirmed in Genesis 13:14-17; 15:1-7; 17:1-8.

The Lord said to Abraham( Genesis 12:1-3), "Get out of your country, from your family and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." By reading the other passages you will get somewhat of a break down of the Covenant.

Answer 3

It was a promise of "FAITH":

"For THE PROMISE, that he should be the Heir of the World, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but THROUGH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF FAITH." (Rom.4:13)

It's the same promise that those whose faith is in Christ shall inherit with Abraham:

"Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham... the scripture, forseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel [good news] unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham." (Gal.3:7-9)

"And IF YE BE CHRIST's, THEN ARE YE ABRAHAM's seed, and HEIRS according to the promise." (verse 29)

God's promises to Abraham are a simple matter of either "believing" what God promises [the earth] to Abraham... and inheriting it with him when Jesus returns -- or "not believing" it.

"For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as to them: but the Word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it." (Heb.4:2)

"...be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises." (Heb.6:12)

God's promise to Abraham has always been one of faith... because:

"...ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD..." (Rom.4:3).

Answer:There were 3 basic areas of provisions made in the Abrahamic Covenant. First, there were the personal blessings for Abraham; second, there were blessings for Abraham's descendants, or national blessings; and third, there was universal blessing, which would include all people. In these ways, God promised to bless Abraham and to make his name great. It was an unconditional covenant, dependent on God alone for its fulfillment.
