Description
God called Abram out of Babylon to go on a journey to a place God would show him. Abram must step out in blind faith in God and His Word. Throughout Abrams journey with God, He was shaping and forming Abraham into His image and likeness for the purpose God had for his life. Abram must walk his journey with God step by step. As Abram obeyed God and His Word, he was drawing closer and closer to God in a deep and abiding relationship. Eventually, God changed Abrams name to Abraham because he had been transformed into a mature man of God who would soon have spiritual seed through Isaac. The life of Abram/Abraham is a picture of the spiritual life of those who follow God through Abrahams seed Jesus. God called Abraham out of wicked Babylon. He still calls people out of wickedness symbolized by Babylon to follow His faithful and obedient Son Jesus into a new spiritual life. God has a plan and purpose for each of our lives but He must shape and form us for the call. God will walk us step by step through faith and obedience to His Word into the fullness of the blessing that Christs sacrifice accomplished. God works in fullness. God wants to be fully known and wants to extend the fullness of the blessing that Christs sacrifice on the cross accomplished for all -- whether Jew or Gentile. Abrahams journey with God and His walk of faith and obedience beautifully illustrates Gods desire to bless all those who love His Son Jesus Christ. Abraham obeyed God willingly out of love, not out of command or demand. God spoke to Abraham and then left the choice of obedience up to him. When Abraham willingly obeyed Gods Word, he was blessed. Those who love and follow Jesus are to also obey His Word willingly out of love. The New Covenant extends from the Abrahamic Covenant. The Bible says that the gospel was announced in advance to Abraham. Gal. 3:8 This book is written to show that Truth.
