Abraham
“…Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for
righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.”
~James 2:23
Abraham was God’s “third beginning” in Genesis, a man called
out of idol worship to know and serve the Most High. By considering
Abraham’s life and his relationship with God, we can find much to
encourage and challenge us. The stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
can provide us with understanding about our own walks with the Lord.
