Blessed by Jesus: Those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. Galatians 3:9

The Book of Acts relates that Paul was a Jew named Saul who converted to the Christian faith through a heavenly vision of Jesus, and the same book relates that Paul received the Holy Spirit through baptism to bear witness to the gospel and convert pagans to the Christian faith. Paul, through the strength of his preaching and the importance of his writings, was the person who transformed a simple sect originating from Judaism into the first religion of humanity, the Christianism.
And the epistle written to the Galatians is a clear example of the theological thought of the apostle of the Gentiles. This letter was most likely addressed to the Churches of Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe which were founded by the apostle in his first missionary trip. In this letter, Paul expressed that both pagans and Jews without exception, converted to the faith through the sacrament of baptism, were facing the same condition before Lord Jesus.
For Paul, to be blessed by the Lord Jesus, the Christian could not be justified by the law of Moses but by that free grace granted by baptism in the name of the Lord; this is why Paul spoke of the new children of Abraham no longer according to the flesh but according to the spirit. And this statement by Paul was based on the same facts that occurred in the times of the early Church where believers received the gifts not by the law but by the free grace of the Holy Spirit. And there is a very interesting story about this spiritual fact as an example, with these words the Book of Acts recounts the astonishment of the Christians who accompanied Peter when the apostle preached the word to Cornelius and his family in Caesaria: "The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles" Acts 10:45.
This is why Paul taught that the gift of faith put all Christians in an equal situation: "Those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith" Galatians 3:9. And this has a very clear logic because faith in Jesus is not related to a series of imperatives but to righteousness itself: "Do to others what you would have them do to you" Matthew 7:12.
