Genesis 12:10 - 13:18
GenesisSteve Gregg
Abraham (then named Abram) faced a test of faith when he put himself and his wife in a compromising position by telling Egypt that Sarah was his sister to protect himself during a famine. Despite his struggle with faith, Abraham became a model for Christians and a prototype for disciples to follow. The text also emphasizes the importance of trusting in God even in challenging circumstances and highlights the evolution of Abraham's faith over the course of his relationship with God. The promise of land to Abram's descendants is considered a token of their inheritance of the whole earth through Christ, and the modern state of Israel is a secular state, not a religious one.
