What does the Bible say about the call of Abraham?

Answered in 2 sources

The call of Abraham signifies God's sovereign choice to create a nation through him, leading to the eventual blessing of all families of the earth.

In Genesis 12:1-3, God commands Abram to leave his country and kin to go to a land He will show him, indicating a new beginning for the chosen nation of Israel. This calling is purely a result of God's sovereign grace, as Abram was living in idolatry and sin. The significant aspect of this call is the promise that through Abraham, all families of the earth will be blessed, which ultimately points to Christ as the fulfillment of this promise. This narrative shows that the relationship between God and His people is established by God's initiative rather than human merit.
Scripture References: Genesis 12:1-3, Acts 7:2-3
