Genesis 12:6-9

The Altars of Abraham

.

.

The altars were a tool for Abraham to pursue his relationship with God.

What An Altar Was:

1. It was an altar of sacrifice

A blood sacrifice is required to cover sin.

We don’t have to build altars today because Jesus came and was sacrificed for us on the altar of the cross.

2. It was an altar of worship

After we come to the first altar of Shechem, then we come to the second altar of Bethel.

Worship means that we give everything to God and hold anything back.

3. It was a testimony to the future generation

We need to build altars of testimony that speak to the next generation.
