Abstract:
The concept of blessing in the New Testament is rooted in the Covenant. In Genesis, Abraham was asked to enter into a covenant with God to bestow divine blessings on the people. The key issue here is that; what is the blessing in the New Testament, and what is the connection between it and the covenant? In the Old Testament, blessings are divine gifts for the Israelites and they are completely conditional. In the new covenant, salvation is based on a sincere relationship with Jesus rather than a religious system based on a set of specific precepts and rituals. Then, in Christianity Jesus himself is a covenant. Here the role of Christ as Savior is not limited to the nation of Israel, but His grace extends to all people on earth. At the same time, the blessing offered through Christ is not a material blessing but a spiritual blessing, and it is more about the kingdom of God and for the future. This research is based on analytical method and has been done using library resources.
