What's In The Bible: Heroes Of The Old TestamentНамуна

God decided to launch His great rescue plan through a man named Abram. He told Abram and his wife Sarah to leave their home, Ur. God made 3 big promises to Abram - He told Abram that he would be the father of a great nation, that through Abram all the families in the whole world would be blessed, and that God would give Abram and his children their own land, the Promised Land! It was called Canaan. God also gave Abram a new name - Abraham, which means - "Father of Many." Even though Abraham and his wife Sarah would face many challenges, they trusted God and followed Him. And hundreds of years later, Jesus was born out of Abraham's family! God had a great rescue plan, and He used Abraham to put it into motion.
