In Genesis Chapter 12, we have a shift in focus from a global view to zooming in on one man and his family. Abram is chosen as a super-star because he obeys God. Obedience is key. He wasn't perfect but he was obedient. The Abrahamic Covenant is spilled out promising that God will make Abram into a great nation, will bless him and nations would be blessed through him, and God is going to give them the land of Canaan. Abram became God's answer to the sin problem. In Chapter 13, Abram and Lot separate and God leads Abram exactly to where He wants him to be and the chapter ends in a quite dynamic faith walk through this newly discovered promised land.
