Lesson 313: ABRAHAM - FATHER OF A NATION


Full Lesson HERE


INTRODUCTION. Before God created the heavens and earth, He purposed to send

his Son into the world to save mankind from their sins. In order to accomplish his

purpose, God chose Abram (later called Abraham) to be the father of a nation

through whom his Son would come.


God first called Abraham when he resided in Ur of the Chaldees (Gen. 15:7; Neh.

9:7; Acts 7:2-3). Ur was an ancient and important city located on the Euphrates River

in southern Mesopotamia. Abraham first migrated northwestward in Mesopotamia to

Haran, also a flourishing city in the nineteenth and eighteenth centuries B. C. (Gen.

11:31). At Haran God again called Abraham, instructing him to go to a land He

would show him (Gen. 12:1). God then made three promises to Abraham: the nation

promise, the land promise, and the spiritual promise (Gen. 12:2-3, 7). After Abraham

offered his son Isaac upon the altar at Mount Moriah, God repeated these promises

to him (Gen. 22:15-18).
