Re: "Those who bless you will be blessed..."
Son of the Bond woman is salvation by the works of the flesh. Son of the Free woman is salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, THE SEED of the woman.
The two shall not be heirs together in all spiritual blessings since the true seed of Abraham is the SEED, the promised seed. Salvation by the works of the law will not avail since it is of the flesh...a spiritual Ishmael. It is in Isaac that all all the nations shall be blessed since it is the SPIRITUAL SEED wrought by FAITH. It is by FAITH that he becomes heir to THE PROMISE. "For the PROMISE is unto you and to your children and all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."

Amen. To Abraham and Jesus were the promises made, since God said SEED and not SEEDS, and that Seed is Christ! So when we are baptized into Christ, then are we Abraham's seed and heirs to all the promises of Abraham!

Re: "Those who bless you will be blessed..."
btw,
it is my opinion that blessings promised to those that bless you and cursing to those that curse you is both natural and spiritual blessings. IMHO, of course.
To bless the natural people, the natural seed is to reap a blessings but since a spiritual people, all who are in Christ, the seed, is so infinitely greater, by blessing God's spiritual people, so will the infinite blessings accrue. The opposite is true in regard to cursing.
So, I will send you my address so that you can bless me with a liberal offering. I want you to be blessed.
 Hahaha, just kidding.

Re: "Those who bless you will be blessed..."
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made.He saith not,And to seeds,as of many;but as of one,and to thy seed ,which is in Christ.GALATIANS 3:16
Doesn't this verse mean that the recipients of the Abrahamic covenant in the New Testament are those who belong to Christ ?
Are there two seeds of Abraham in The New Covenant ? Would not the body of Christ be considered as the children of Abraham under the new covenant ? If the types and shadows,under the old covenant are fulfilled in Christ ? Then would not the Church be considered as the heirs of the promises of Abraham ,under the New Covenant ?
