Chapter Study & Analysis

God commands Abram to get out of his country unto a land He will show him, promising to make him a "great nation" and that in him all families of the earth shall be blessed. Abram journeys to Canaan but later goes down to Egypt because of a famine, where he deceitfully says Sarai is his sister.
1. Step of Faith: True faith requires leaving the familiar to follow God's command.
2. Universal Blessing: The promise that "all families" would be blessed points forward to Jesus Christ.
3. Human Frailty: Even "men of faith" can stumble into fear and deceit when they look at circumstances instead of God.
