At that time, God once again promised Abraham that he would inherit the Holy Land and would have very many descendants (Genesis ch.13).
Lot was a member of Abraham's family. It was only because of Abraham's righteousness (and intercession with God) that Lot was saved. On the other hand, Lot's wife looked back, wanting what she had left nehind - and as a result she, too, died.
God swore two main promises to Abraham that's potentially transferrable to ALL OF MANKIND. To make of him and his descendants A GREAT NATION... and that THROUGH HIM [that is; the FAITH that he displayed through his actions] ALL THE NATIONS [families: all of mankind] OF THE EARTH WOULD BE BLESSED [that is; the promise of Salvation through the Messiah whose descent is traced through Abraham].Ultimately, the "Great Nation" promised to Abraham translates into the GOOD NEWS [gospel] of the COMING KINGDOM OF GOD, that only those who shall be saved through the Messiah's Salvation shall inherit and enter into.And only those who "BELIEVE" in the God of Abraham [who was and is Jesus Christ; the Almighty Creator God of the Old Testament - see John 1:3] or who in other words "possess the Faith of Abraham" may regard themselves as Abraham's children, and, subsequently, may consider themselves heirs of the Promise."Even as Abraham BELIEVED God... Know ye therefore that THEY WHICH ARE OF FAITH [that is: they who also BELIEVE God as Abraham did], THE SAME ARE THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM." (Gal.3:6"And IF YE BE CHRIST'S [who was and is Abraham's God], THEN ARE YE ABRAHAM'S SEED, and HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE..." (verse 29).If the Faith [the BELIEFS] of Abraham, therefore, is in you... then you are an HEIR of THE PROMISE OF SALVATION. Because Abraham is one of God's Heirs of His Kingdom... and His Salvation.
The relative was Lot, Abraham's nepthew.(Genesis 11:31-32)
Lot, nephew of Abraham, spared by God because of Abraham`s prayer. His wife was tuned to a pillar of salt due to her disobedience.
a lot...read genesis. God makes a covenant with him, you get a history of a lot of his life.
No read your bible. Noah and the flood was hundreds of years earlier. It was Abraham who talks with God in Genesis 18. In Genesis 19 Lot is warned by two angels after Abraham intercedes for him with God.
Abraham left his country, Ur of the Chaldeans, when he was called by God to go to a land that would be shown to him, which is described in the book of Genesis. This journey occurred after the death of Abraham's father, Terach, and is generally believed to have taken place around 2000 BCE. Abraham took his nephew Lot with him as they set out towards Canaan. This event marks a significant moment in the biblical narrative, highlighting Abraham's faith and obedience.
Abraham's decision to take Lot with him when leaving Haran can be viewed as a form of disobedience, as God specifically instructed Abraham to leave his country and his father's household. However, the narrative does not explicitly label this action as sinful; it may reflect Abraham's human tendency to cling to family. Ultimately, Lot's presence led to challenges in Abraham's journey, highlighting the complexities of faith and obedience in the biblical narrative.
God told Abraham to look at the stars one night. Then He promised to Abraham that Abraham would have as many descendants as the stars in the sky (that is a lot of descendants)
Yes In A Way But It Was The Angels Who Saved Him
Abraham, tenth-generation descendant of Noah, of Hebrew lineage, was the son of Terah, uncle of Lot, father of Isaac, grandfather of Jacob, and forefather of the Israelites. His story is in Genesis ch.11 (end), through ch.25. Lot was a disciple of Abraham but later left him.See the Related Link.Abraham's biography
Abraham, Sarah, and Lot initially settled in the land of Canaan, which was promised to Abraham by God. They journeyed there from Ur of the Chaldeans and later moved to various locations within Canaan, including Shechem and Hebron. Eventually, due to a dispute over grazing land, Lot separated from Abraham and settled in the city of Sodom, while Abraham remained in the more rural areas of Canaan.
