Genesis 23 - 24

GenesisSteve Gregg
In Genesis 23-24, Abraham's journey to find a burial plot for Sarah and a wife for Isaac is told. Through Abraham's acknowledgement of his status as a stranger and advice given to modern Christians in 1 Peter 2:11, the theme of pilgrimhood and the distinction between the values and conduct of the church and the world are highlighted. The story also emphasizes the importance of godly wisdom and guidance in finding a spouse, while recognizing God's sovereignty in bringing the right person to a single individual.
