Before he became the father of Israel, Abraham was an idolater living in a culture that worshiped many gods, from Marduk to the moon god Nanna. This study of Genesis 12 traces how God called Abraham in stages, patiently revealing Himself and building faith long before Abraham ever trusted in Him for salvation. Along the way, the seven promises God makes to Abraham point forward to the coming Deliverer, promised all the way back in the Garden of Eden, and now available to every family on earth.
