Genesis 15:1 - 17:8
GenesisSteve Gregg
In this analysis of Genesis 15:1-17:8, Steve Gregg explores the concepts of Christian discipleship and the Abrahamic covenant. The text discusses the burden that Abram carried and the delay in God's appearance, which may have symbolized the delay in delivering the people of Egypt and bringing Abram's seed to the promised land. Gregg also delves into the cultural context of polygamous marriages in the Bible and the importance of obedience and submission in hierarchical relationships. Additionally, he highlights the faithfulness of God in fulfilling his promises and Abram's great faith in believing God's promise.
