Macarthur Ot Stg Father
Abraham is known as the father of Israel, because God appeared to him and promised that his progeny would become €œa great nation.€ Yet Abraham is actually much more than the patriarch of a select group of ancient people. Through Abraham€s descendants, God€s own Son, Jesus, was born. Abraham is the father of all God€s people, whether born Jew or Gentile.
The Father of Israel takes an in-depth look at the historical period beginning with Abraham€s initial call from God, continuing through his relocating adventures, and concluding with the story of his grandsons Jacob and Esau. Studies include close-ups of Sarah, Isaac, and others, as well as careful considerations of doctrinal themes, such as €œCovenant and Obedience€ and €œTrusting Everything to God.€Â
