What does it say?
Abraham remarried and had six more sons. Before his death, Abraham gave gifts to his sons. He left everything he owned to Isaac.
What does it mean?
God allowed Abraham to witness many of His promises become reality. Upon Abraham’s death, Isaac and Ishmael came together to bury their father alongside Sarah in the portion of the Promised Land he rightfully owned. Abraham left great wealth; but it was his legacy of strong faith, carried to future generations, that has made the most impact.
How should I respond?
Television bombards us with ads regarding the importance of providing for our loved ones in the event of our death. But have you contemplated ways to pass on a spiritual inheritance? Tell your children and grandchildren your salvation experience. Share with them specific ways that God has worked in your life and provided exactly what you needed at just the right time. Look for opportunities to discuss Scripture, pray with them, or serve together in your church. By turning everyday life into teachable moments, you will create a spiritual legacy that will outlive you!

About this Plan
As its name implies, Genesis is a book of beginnings. The beginning of the world, the beginning of the line of Abraham, and the beginning of God's covenantal relationship with his people are all recorded in Genesis. Although filled with the sin, rebellion, and the chronic unfaithfulness of His people, God consistently demonstrates his covenantal faithfulness to bring about salvation and redemption for all who have faith in Him.
