Covenant of Abraham
The bible Dictionary clearly lays out those parts of the Abrahamic Covenant which are available to ask of mankind and those which are specific to Abraham.

Abrahamic Covenant
I just have to note that I’m very pleased with the study tools in the gospel library app such as the Topical Guide.

Abraham 1I just taught about this three weeks ago and yet I ask afresh the question – What did it mean that Abraham “sought for the blessings of the fathers, and the right whereunto I should be ordained to administer the same?” Did he visit Melchizedek or the city of Salem and ask for directions…

SeekingAbraham 1:1-4 – In the land of the Chaldeans, at the residence of my fathers, I, Abraham, saw that it was needful for me to obtain another place of residence; And, finding there was greater happiness and peace and rest for me, I sought for the blessings of the fathers, and the right whereunto I…
