Monday: Abram the Father of the Faithful
God called Abram to leave his homeland and his kinfolk and go to a land that He would show him. Though details aren’t given, Abram had to leave the land of his birth and early years. Surely, it wasn’t an easy decision, and no doubt he gave up some earthly pleasure and conveniences to do it.
Read Genesis 12:1-3. How were “all the families of the earth … blessed” as a result of this promise and its acceptance?

This was a major life-changing event for Abram and his family. “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going” (Hebrews 11:8, NKJV). “Abraham’s unquestioning obedience is one of the most striking evidences of faith to be found in all the Bible.” — Ellen G. White, Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 126.
Most of us would not be eager to leave our homeland and our friends and family members. But Abram did so. Abram was satisfied to be where God wanted him to be. As strange as this may seem, Abram, Isaac, and Jacob never received that land in their lifetimes — yet they remained faithful to God anyway.
Read Hebrews 11:8-13. What is the relevant message to us here?
Abram was known as a prince by those living around him. He was known to be generous, brave, hospitable, and a servant of the Most High God. His witness for God was exemplary. By the grace of God, we are heirs with Abraham. “Just as Abraham ‘believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.’ Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham” (Galatians 3:6-7, , NKJV). “And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29, NKJV).
With Abraham, as with Noah, we see someone making a major life-changing decision as a result of obeying God.
| Read 2 Corinthians 4:18. How should the message of this verse impact the kind of spiritual decisions that we make? How did both Moses and Abraham follow that same principle? |
Amen!

¿Robará la iglesia al hombre?
En vista de las reacciones en las redes sociales y los comentarios de varias iglesias, la lección 3 de la Escuela Sabática para Adultos generó más controversia que convicción. Titulada “El contrato del diezmo”, la lección intentaba afirmar la importancia y la validez del diezmo en la vida del cristiano. Con las sospechas de una […] Source: https://atoday.org/robara-la-iglesia-al-hombre/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=robara-la-iglesia-al-hombre
