Abraham Covenant is extended to all of The “Nations of The World, and it is a “Promise” and backed up By “GOD” Himself!

For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear an oath by no one greater, He swore by Himself,

who are the offspring in the covenant?

Galatians 3:29

And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.

Galatians 3:7​

7 Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham.

Galatians 3:14​

14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles so that we might receive the promised Spirit[e] through faith.

Galatians 3;16​

16 Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ.



Galatians 3:26-29​

26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave[g] nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.


In summary Galatians is defining who are Abrahams offsprings, because those who are his offspring are the heirs according to the promise. HIs offspring are those who are in Christ and it does not matter if they are Jew or Greek, of you are in Christ you are Abrhams offspring and heirs.

Romans 4:11

He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness would be counted to them as well,
 
Jesus fulfilled this covenant we are now partakers of this promise, because we are in Christ.
