Exodus 3:15 NLT God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh, the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you. This is my eternal name, my name to remember for all generations.

Abraham was called by God, and he had a covenant with God. He obeyed God, and he was willing to sacrifice his Son Isaac for God.

Isaac relied on, honored, and worshipped God (Genesis 26:24-25). Because he was the son of Abraham, he also had a covenant with God.

Jacob, on the other hand, was a trickster. He deceived his poor sighted father into giving him his older brother’s blessing. In spite of Jacob’s deceptive ways, God chose to honor the blessing that was passed down from Isaac. God eventually gave Jacob land, descendants, protection, and a supernatural business (Genesis 28-30).

Some of us may not have been as honorable as Abraham and Isaac. Some of us have a past similar to Jacob. We may have lied, cheated, and deceived, but guess what? God made a covenant with Abraham and Jesus (Gal. 3:16). Our faith in Jesus allows us to reap the benefits of this covenant. So, even though we’ve done wrong, our faith in Christ allows us to have protection, provision, blessings, etc. Regardless of what we’ve done, because God honors His covenant, He still chooses to be our God.

Thank God He’s not using our behavior to determine how good He’ll be to us. Praise God He is also the God of Jacob.
