How does the blessing of Abraham come to the Gentiles?

Galatians 3:14 (ESV)

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

The blessing given to Abraham (life in God’s presence) comes to both Jew and non-Jew (Gentile) through faith in Jesus Christ. Unity with Christ is of the essence, not physical descent or human moral achievement.
