Promise

A declaration or assurance that one will do a particular thing or that a particular thing

will happen. Assure someone that one will definitely do, give, or arrange something;

undertake or declare that something will happen.

Abraham, originally named Abram, is a foundational patriarch in the Bible (Genesis

12-25) called by God to leave his home in Ur for Canaan, promising to make him a great

nation, bless him, and grant him many descendants. Despite childlessness in old age,

Abraham believed God, leading to the miraculous birth of Isaac with his wife Sarah.

Key Aspects of Abraham’s Story:

-The Call and Promise: God promised Abraham a new land (Canaan) and that

through his offspring, "all peoples on earth will be blessed".

The Covenant: God established a covenant with Abraham, marked by

circumcision, promising that kings would come from him.

Isaac’s Birth:

Sarah, having been barren, gave birth to Isaac in her old age, bringing joy to their

household.

The Ultimate Test: God tested Abraham’s faith by asking him to sacrifice Isaac on

Mount Moriah. Abraham obeyed, but an angel intervened, stopping him and

providing a ram for sacrifice instead.

Ishmael and Hagar: Before Isaac's birth, Abraham had a son, Ishmael, with

Sarah's maidservant Hagar, who was also promised to become a great nation.

Final Years: Abraham passed away at 175 and was buried by his sons Isaac and

Ishmael next to Sarah in the Cave of the Patriarchs.

Abram is now Abraham and Sarai to Sarah

1. 2. 3. Abram was now ninety nine when God told him it was now time for his son. Can

you remember a conversation you had with God and it had not come to pass, but

when you matured God reminded you of the promise?

a time the God’s promise to you completely changed your behavior?
