二、赐福给蒙召的人
这福是甚么呢？这福是神创造的福和救赎的福，包括神所要给人的一切福－神自己以及今世和来世神的一切所有。加拉太三章十四节给我们看见，这福至终乃是所应许的那灵：“为叫亚伯拉罕的福，在基督耶稣里可以临到外邦人，使我们藉着信，可以接受所应许的那灵。”因为那灵就是神自己，所以这意思就是，神应许要将祂自己当作福，赐给亚伯拉罕。
三、使蒙召的人成为地上万族的褔
神不仅应许祂自己要成为亚伯拉罕的福，也应许使亚伯拉罕成为地上万国万族的福（创十二3）。在祂的呼召里，神从亚当转到亚伯拉罕。这是说祂已经放弃了亚当族类。但在祂的应许里，神藉着亚伯拉罕的子孙－基督，又从亚伯拉罕转回到亚当族类的万族（加三14）。
这是非常有意思的。首先，神从亚当转到亚伯拉罕，至终，祂藉着基督又从亚伯拉罕转回到受造的族类。在这新的转向里我们都被神得着了。表面看来，神已经离开我们，转到亚伯拉罕；然后神似乎对亚伯拉罕说，“我不仅将我自己当作福赐给你，我也要使你成为福，赐给亚当族类中一切可怜的人。亚伯拉罕，让我们回去罢。”我们可以说神作了一个回转。藉这回转，外邦中一切蒙召的人都被召聚来了。
关于我们对犹太人的态度：永远不要苦待犹太人。神说，“为你祝福的，我必赐福他们；那咒诅你的，我必咒诅他。”（在这里，“他们”和“他”指明复数和单数的人）。你读历史，会发现在已过二十五个世纪中，从尼布甲尼撒毁坏耶路撒冷直到现在，凡咒诅犹太人的国家、人民、种族或个人，都受了咒诅，但凡祝福犹太人的，都蒙了祝福。这是根据创世记十二章三节神的应许。

God’s Promise (2) – Gen. 12:3
II. Blessing the Called One
What is this blessing? This blessing is the blessing of God’s creation and redemption, including all the blessings God intends to give to man — God Himself and all that God has in this age and the age to come. Galatians 3:14 shows us that this blessing is ultimately the promised Spirit: “In order that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” Since the Spirit is God Himself, this means that God promised to give Himself as the blessing to Abraham.
III. Making the Called One a Blessing to All the Families of the Earth
God not only promised that He Himself would be a blessing to Abraham, but He also promised to make Abraham a blessing to all the nations (families) of the earth (Gen. 12:3). In His calling, God turned from Adam to Abraham. This means He had given up the Adamic race. But in His promise, God, through Abraham’s seed – Christ — turned from Abraham back to all the families of the Adamic race (Gal. 3:14).
This is very meaningful. First, God turned from Adam to Abraham; ultimately, through Christ, He turned from Abraham back to the created race. In this new turn, we have all been gained by God. On the surface, God had left us and turned to Abraham; then God seemed to say to Abraham, “I will not only give Myself to you as a blessing, but I will also make you a blessing to all the pitiful people of the Adamic race. Abraham, let us go back”. We can say God made a turn (a U-turn). Through this turn, all the called ones among the Gentiles have been gathered in.
Regarding our attitude toward the Jewish people: Never mistreat the Jewish people. God said, “I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse” (here, “those” and “him” indicate plural and singular persons). If you read history, you will find that in the past twenty-five centuries, from Nebuchadnezzar’s destruction of Jerusalem until now, every nation, people, race, or individual who cursed the Jewish people has suffered a curse, but those who blessed the Jewish people have received a blessing. This is based on God’s promise in Genesis 12:3.
