We are introduced to Abram, a Hebrews 11 hero of the faith; yet what we immediately discover is that this is still very much God’s story. The story of God’s initiative, God’s covenant, and God’s promises to bless. How God promises a pagan man, with a barren wife, from an inauspicious family, that he will bear many children and bless every nation on the planet. Despite his unimpressive resumé we learn lessons from the life of Abram; how he believed, obeyed and went all in on the promises of God. Plus, we look forward to the coming seed, who will reverse Genesis 3, who will be blessed and through whom we can be included in the restoration plan of God.
