Life of Abraham 3

Famine forced Abram to Egypt

Abraham was afraid of people killing him and taking his wife, so he lied

Pharaoh was preparing to take Sarai, and gave Abraham a lot of stuff, but the Lord struck them with plagues

The king figured out the lie, and sent them safely away with their stuff

Lesson?

What about the lie?

What sin does the Bible deal with?

Who did the Lord punish?

The Bible deals with a system that is treacherous, set up by Pharaoh

If Abraham told the truth, would God have protected him? Yes, God already promised to make a nation

God is aware of sinful systems

they are not watching over you, God is, or angels he has sent

race worship - love, appreciate, be thankful how God made you, but don’t worship i
