Abraham in the Old Testament received a promise from God the Lord of hosts when he was called to go to the promised land. What he received as the promise of God has been revealed by the pen of Apostle Paul and that is the Spirit of God. It is a gift that all humans are desperately in want since the fall of the race. Here it is the revelation according to Paul.
"For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.” Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (Galatians 3:10-14 NKJV)
