Aside from Moses, no Old Testament character is mentioned more in the New Testament than Abraham. James refers to Abraham as “God’s friend” (James 2:23), a title used of no one else in Scripture. Believers in all generations are called the “children of Abraham” (Galatians 3:7). Abraham’s importance and impact in redemptive history are clearly seen in Scripture. (GOTQUSTIONS.ORG) This week we begin our discussion of Abraham. No one person commands more allegiance than Abraham, with those of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths looking to him as their progenitor. Have you wondered why the very first book of the NT begins Mt 1:1 “The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham:” Ever wonder why? It all began with Abraham.
