God's Promises to Abraham

As men began to multiply on the Earth, Adam’s sons continued to follow Satan’s course of human nature. Prior to Abraham, only three men are mentioned as following in God’s way of life. Abel was called righteous, Enoch walked with God, and Noah was was a preacher of righteousness.

By the time of Abraham, men had lost all knowledge of the true Creator, His revelation, of His purpose, and the way og God’s peace and happiness to eternal life. Man pursued his own ways, walking contrary the spiritual laws of God. Sin and violence filled the earth.

It was such a world , which had strayed far from God and the knowledge of the glorious benefits and the worship of the one true God that we find one man who was honest and upright, submissive and teachable, strong and purposeful. So God gave Abram a test command:

Genesis 12:1–2 “The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.”

Here was a command which was a condition and a PROMISE. provided the condition of obedience was met.

And so now, God has started His own peculiar nation in the world from one single man - Abraham.
