This week, Lawrence delves into the biblical story of Abram (who becomes Abraham) from Genesis, underscoring that Abram was a regular man with no notable ancestry or status, yet chosen by God for an extraordinary mission. He examines the tendency of modern society to associate personal worth with one's lineage and connections, in contrast to the biblical account, which emphasizes God's choice of Abram. Lawrence highlights the promises made by God to Abram, such as founding a great nation and bestowing blessings upon all the earth's families. He further discusses the simplicity and obedience God requires to accomplish His purposes and cautions against complicating divine directives. The discussion also touches on the notions of God's collective and individual selection and dispels the myth that inclusion in a selected group guarantees individual redemption. The narrative employs various biblical citations to underscore these points.
