BY COVENANT, ABRAHAM BECAME THE FIRST JEW

 

  1. Called of God; Covenant Instituted (Genesis 12:1-5; 15:1-21)
  2. Covenant Sign Commanded (Genesis 17:1-14)
  3. Abraham Tested Regarding the Covenant (Genesis 21:1-8; 22:1-19)

 

 

Central Truth:  God still calls people to enter into covenant with Him.

Focus:  Recognize and believe that God is a faithful covenant keeper.

Evangelism Emphasis:  The church should proclaim God’s invitation to all people to participate in the new covenant.

 

Golden Text: “[Abraham] believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness” (Genesis 15:6).
