III. God’s Spirit and Word in the Time of the Promises
706
Against all human hope, God promises descendants to Abraham, as the fruit of
faith and of the power of the Holy Spirit.68 In Abraham’s progeny all
the nations of the earth will be blessed. This progeny will be Christ
himself,69 in whom the outpouring of the Holy Spirit will “gather
into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.”70 God
commits himself by his own solemn oath to giving his beloved Son and “the
promised Holy Spirit . . . [who is] the guarantee of our inheritance until we
acquire possession of it.”71
