Abraham: Friend Of God

Abraham is one of the most fascinating people in the Bible to study. He's considered to be "the father of the faith" because he blazes the path of faith and obedience for us all to follow. As the Apostle Paul says, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness" (Romans 4:3). He lived such an incredible life of abandoning everything to God. God called him out of Ur, pointed His finger west, and told Abraham, "Go that way", and Abraham did it! God promised him multiple descendants, and for 25 years Abraham believed he was the father of many nations, though he'd had no children! God put Abraham to a test and told him to offer his son Isaac on the altar as a burnt offering, and Abraham obeyed! Now believers are told, "Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham" (Galatians 3:7). So, Abraham is our "father" and our pattern. In this fun, easy to read verse by verse study, we'll walk along with Abraham, learning from his successes and failures. And we'll see for ourselves why Abraham was called "the friend of God"!
