Genesis 12 introduces the story of Abraham while spotlighting

themes of faith, obedience and God’s promises. Abraham is called

by God to leave his home and journey to an unknown land. Despite

not knowing the destination, Abraham obeys, trusting God to lead

him. God makes a covenant with him, promising to bless him, make

him a great nation, and bless all families of the Earth through him.

The chapter also shows Abraham’s human flaws when he lies in

Egypt, reminding us that even people of great faith can falter.

Ultimately, this chapter teaches us to trust God’s plans even when

the path is unclear.
