Abraham

Following God one faithful step at a time

God called Abraham to leave his home and trust a promise he could not yet see: a family, a land, and blessing for all nations.

📖 Genesis 12–22 ↗👨‍👩‍👧 Read Together ↓

Who Was Abraham?

A man God called to live by faith.

Abraham, first called Abram, lived in Ur when God told him to go to a land God would show him. God promised to make Abraham into a great nation and bless all families of the earth through him. Abraham obeyed, though he did not know every step ahead. He sometimes acted from fear and made wrong choices, but God remained faithful, renewed His covenant, and taught Abraham to trust Him. God gave Abraham and Sarah their promised son, Isaac, in their old age.
