In the opening chapters of Genesis (1-11), we see the enmity of Satan against the promised Seed (Christ) of the woman in his attempts to disrupt the bloodline to Christ. During this time, God was dealing with mankind as a whole. This morning, we look at how God narrowed down His focus to deal with one man, Abraham, and one nation, Israel, that God would make from him. It was through this nation that God would bring His Son and our Redeemer into the world. We examine two aspects of Abraham's faith: 1) his obedience to God's initial call to come out from among them and 2) his willingness to live as a stranger and pilgrim in the land that God promised him. Abraham had faith in God's purpose for his life and in God's promises to him and his descendants.
