Descendants of Father Abraham—the people of Israel—have this great promise as children of the covenant: “In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.” Upon all the peoples of the earth the blessings of the covenant will be poured out—through the covenant people—namely, blessings of the fulness of the gospel, the priesthood, the Holy Ghost, eternal posterity, land inheritance, and more. See further in “Why Does God Have a Covenant People?” in commentary at 3 Nephi 5:21–26.
