In the Old Testament, who was promised that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky, a promise that ultimately pointed to the coming of Jesus, who offers eternal life?

Correct Answer

C) Abraham

In Genesis 15:5, God promises Abraham that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky. This promise was fulfilled through the nation of Israel and ultimately through Jesus Christ, who descended from Abraham's lineage. Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham, offering salvation and eternal life to all who believe in Him, echoing the message of John 11:25-26.
