Now the Lord said to Abram,
“Go forth from your country,
And from your relatives
And from your father’s house,
To the land which I will show you;
and the mission of God
“The whole Bible can be portrayed as a very long answer to a very simple questions: What can God do about the sin and rebellion of the human race? is God’s answer to the problem posed by the bleak narratives of . Or . . . Genesis 3-11 sets the problem that the mission of God addresses from Genesis 12 onward. Genesis 1-11 poses a cosmic problem to which God must provide a cosmic answer. The problems so graphically spread before the reader in Gen 1-11 will not be solved just by finding a way to get human being to heaven when they die. The love and power of the Creator must address not only the sin of individuals, but also the strife and hostility of nations; not only the needs of humans, but also the suffering on animals and the curse on the ground… The call of Abram is the beginning of God’s answer to the evil of human hearts, the strife of nations, and the groaning brokenness of his whole creation.”
— Christoper Wright, The Mission of God: Unlocking the Bible’s Grand Narrative, 195.
