Book excerpt: The life of Abram, whom God later renamed Abraham, was depicted in 14 chapters of the Bible (Genesis 12-25). In those chapters, we get to see: 1. Jesus as the perfect Image of God’s love. 2. Jesus as faith personified; 3. Salvation through Christ crucified; 4. The Covenants of Law and Love; 5. God’s wisdom in saving fallen humanity. Fear seemed to be the mainstay of Abram’s life. However, God transferred Abram from the snares of fear into the Kingdom of His love (Colossians 1:13-14). He transformed Abram to Abraham. God did that by instilling faith in Abram with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was categorically stated in Galatians 3:8 that God preached the Gospel to Abraham (Romans 10:17). Throughout the life of Abraham, God kept directing his attention to His love for him that is seen in Christ crucified (2 Corinthians 3:18, Galatians 3:8; John 8:56). Jesus Christ and Him crucified is the display and proof of God’s unlimited love for us (Romans 5:7-8, 8:39, Amplified Bible). God loves us (John 16:27, Amplified Bible). This is truth. It is this very truth that sets us free (John 8:31-32, 36). Abraham is called the father of all who believe in the Gospel of Jesus (Romans 4:16). As stated in Galatians 3:9, we are blessed along with Abraham in that same faith. Faith is in essence divine persuasion. God persuades us to believe in His love for us with the death, burial, and resurrection of His beloved Son in Human form as Jesus of Nazareth. This book traces the growth and transformation of Abram to Abraham. So sit back, relax, and behold how God unveiled His love for Abram that is in Jesus Christ and Him crucified. As the pages unfold, I pray that God also transforms us in the same way he did Abram.
