Genesis 12:1 - 12:9

GenesisSteve Gregg
Genesis 12:1-9 introduces Abram and the Abrahamic covenant, which is mentioned throughout the Bible and seen as the subject of the scripture. While Abram's family background and journey to the land of Canaan are discussed, Steve Gregg argues that the promise made to Abram is fulfilled in Christ, and not just in Israel as a nation. The term "replacement theology" is seen as inaccurate when discussing the church's role in relation to Israel, as it is a continuation of Israel through Christ, and being a child of Abraham is determined by faith in Christ.
