Listen "Abram's Introduction: A Preamble to the Promise"
Episode Synopsis
The sermon centers on God's sovereign choice of Abram from a pagan lineage, emphasizing that salvation is not based on human merit, heritage, or effort, but solely on God's gracious decree. Through the genealogies of Shem and Terah, the narrative traces the lineage leading to Abram, whose barren wife and idolatrous background make him an unlikely recipient of divine promise. In Genesis 12:1–3, God's promise of land, seed, and blessing is revealed as a unilateral act of grace, calling Abram to leave all and follow Him in faith. The sermon interprets this promise as fulfilled in Christ, who is the true and better covenant guarantor, making the blessings of land, seed, and universal blessing available to all nations through faith. The application calls believers to forsake all that is dear to follow Christ, to live with a living and active faith, and to embrace the eternal blessings of being spiritually united with Abraham through faith in Christ.
