"The Lord had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you... So, Abram left." This verse, Genesis 12:1, 4a, is extremely significant. God chooses Abram as the first step in building the nation of Israel. God intends to accomplish His will through this man and his family. He asks Abram to leave behind everyone and everything he knows. Abram obeys God's call, and heads into the land of Canaan, territory which God promises to Abram's offering.
