The LORD has said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.” Genesis 12:1
Abram was called by God to leave his home, all that he knew, and set out into the great unknown. There was no GPS, or travel show, to prepare him for what was ahead. That didn’t deter Abram’s faithful obedience. God called and Abram headed toward a destination to be named later.
A divine promise followed Abram’s call. Childless, 75 year old Abram was told his descendants would become a great nation, a blessing to ALL people. The gospel, long before Bethlehem or the cross, was told by God to Abram in Genesis 12. The Good News and God’s love are for all. It is not exclusive.
Obedience powered by faith becomes a blessing far beyond the boundary of human imagination.
Love,
