Why did God use Abraham?

Answer 1

According to the biblical evidence... IT WAS THE PROPER TIME IN GOD'S PLAN TO CALL HIM.

It probably sounds silly in the light of the teachings of the modern false religions in the world, that all seem to believe that God's sole purpose is to merely "set up religions" in the world, with little or no purpose beyond that.

The Truth is, however, that "God is calling predestined individuals OUT OF THE WORLD" in this "first phase of life" [that no human has ever lived before]. That is, God is SANCTIFYING THEM; "setting them apart from the carnal pursuits and desires of this world FOR HIS HOLY USE."

And what is His Holy purpose? To TRAIN THEM TO BECOME THE FIRSTBORN GENERATION OF HIS LOVING, FAITHFUL, OBEDIENT CHILDREN, who, when Jesus Christ returns to restore the Kingdom of God on earth... GOD WILL HAVE A FULLY-TRAINED TEAM OF LEADERS WHO WILL BE GOD'S KINGS AND PRIESTS IN HIS KINGDOM, WHO WILL GUIDE THE NATIONS IN LEARNING AND KEEPING HIS LAWS AND WAYS.

The false religions of this world keep missing this embedded Truth in God's Word, because THEY ARE ALL SATAN's religions, designed to keep man deceived and in the dark about "why he exists"... and to keep man separated from his Creator.

Jesus told His "predestined, called-out" disciples:

"There are MANY ROOMS in My Father's Home, and I AM GOING TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU. If this were not so, I WOULD TELL YOU PLAINLY. When everything is ready, I WILL COME AND GET YOU, so that you will always be with Me where I AM." (John 14:2-3 NLTNew Living Translation)

This deceived, blinded world [see Rev.12:9] has come to think this passage means "going to one's own specially-prepared mansion [big house; hundreds of rooms] in heaven." But that's NOT what it says... nor does The Bible support that belief.

Jesus called THE TEMPLE "His Father's House" [John 2:16]. And the "pattern" for God's Temple has always been a "replication" of "God's Kingdom"... with ROOMS and CHAMBERS for God's "chosen servants" to execute the different OFFICES, DUTIES and JOBS built within it for its EFFICIENT OPERATION.

"...bring them into the House of the LORD [the Temple], into ONE OF THE CHAMBERS, and give them wine to drink." (Jer.35:2)

"And I brought them into the House of the LORD, into THE CHAMBER [mansion, room, office] of the sons of Hanan... which was by THE CHAMBER [mansion, room, office] of the Princes, which was above THE CHAMBER[mansion, room, office] of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door." (verse 4)

God's House has MANY ROOMS... for different people [His chosen Children] to RUN HIS HOUSEHOLD IN A LEADERSHIP ROLE FOR THE GOVERNING OF HIS PEOPLE! Those offices run the full gamut of echelons from "priests and princes" to "doorkeepers!"

And it's THESE whom God [the Father] is calling out of the world, to train for those future jobs in His coming Kingdom that the Father and His Son have been working on since the beginning.

Jobs that this world has been blinded to since Satan first introduced himself to the first two people God made.

Well... ABRAHAM was the one God called, and to whom He gave the Faith; and through whose children He began to establish the working phases of His plan of Salvation [the Christ] for mankind, and the restoration of His Kingdom on earth [Christ the King of that future Kingdom] that Satan perverted and destroyed in the beginning, before man was made [see Rev.12:7-9].

This world's religions teach that man's purpose is to "have a relationship with God." And this is TRUE! But none of the false religions even vaguely suspect that that relationship is to be RE-BORN into GOD'S OWN FAMILY as HIS OWN IMMORTAL CHILDREN!

"The [Holy] Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD: and if Children, then HEIRS; HEIRS OF GOD, and JOINT-HEIRS WITH CHRIST; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also Glorified together." (Rom.8:16-17)

Of course, Satan's false religions of this world don't believe that wonderful TRUTH... and the best relationship between man and his Creator that they can come up with is something tantamount to becoming some kind of "DIVINE PET of God"... like a DOG, looking up at his master for all eternity; wagging our tails in eternal praise of Him.

But, listen to what Jesus promised His disciples regarding their JOBS [executed from their mansions, rooms, offices] in the coming Kingdom of God on earth:

"...YE WHICH HAVE FOLLOWED ME [those whom the Father has called out of the world, who believe what God's Word says, and are trained in obedience and the ways of God], in the REGENERATION [the resurrection from the dead at Christ's return - see Rev.20:4-6] when the Son of Man shall sit in the throne of His Glory, YE ALSO SHALL SIT UPON TWELVE THRONES, JUDGING THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL." (Matt.19:28)

Of course [again]... the deceived false religions of this world can't bring themselves to believe what Jesus says... to "imagine" [in spite of those plain, fantastic, wonderful words] that mankind can REALLY BE REBORN into GOD'S DIVINE, IMMORTAL FAMILY is... well... un-BELIEVEABLE!

But, Abraham "believed Christ" [the Almighty Creator WORD of God of the Old Testament who "made all things" and said, 'Let there be Light' - see John 1:3]. And that's "why God called Abraham." Because Abraham did something that no one else did throughout man's generations till his time:

"Because that ABRAHAM OBEYED MY VOICE, and KEPT MY CHARGE, MY COMMANDMENTS, MY STATUTES, and MY LAWS" (Gen.26:5) !!!

Jesus tells us that Abraham WILL BE THERE; IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD with all His other saints:

"...YE SHALL SEE ABRAHAM, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and you yourselves thrust out." (Luke 13:28)

Abraham is called "the father of the Faithful." He was the first God "chose" out of the generations of man through whose identical Faith in Christ, would begin to qualify to become God's first-born generation of LEADERS OVER HIS HOUSEHOLD [His Kingdom]; the Leaders, Kings and Priests who will, for a thousand years, teach the rest of His Children [all the rest of the generations and races of mankind not called by God during this present "time dispensation" of God's plan].

"Know ye therefore that THEY WHICH ARE OF FAITH, the same ARE THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM." (Gal.3:7)

And if they are the "children of Faithful Abraham"... then they are THE CHILDREN OF GOD!

"And IF YE BE CHRIST's, THEN are ye ABRAHAM'S SEED, and Heirs according to the Promise." (verse 29)

Faithful Abraham was the "seed" whom God planted in the earth, who is the father of nations. Many modern nations arose through his descendants: the Arabs [Ishmael]; the Turks, Edom [Esau]; and the twelve tribes of Israel through his son Isaac [Britain, America, and most of the so-called "free world nations"... France, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, etc... not to mention the Jews [the descendants of the tribe of Judah -- the tribe through whom God promised Abraham would come the Messiah; through whom "all the nations of the world would be BLESSED"].

It was, and is, through Abraham that God laid the foundation of His plan... the prophecies... that Jesus Christ, that God whom Abraham obeyed, would one day manifest in the flesh and BEGIN TO FULFILL.

Abraham is the "father of the Faithful" whom God THE FATHER has been calling out of the world, to TRAIN FOR THE OFFICES HE HAS TO FILL to establish and execute with Equity and Justice His Kingdom of God on earth.

And when the Father sees that all the positions have been filled... and His Children are trained and ready to tackle the future New World Order on earth; the rule of God's Kingdom on earth -- THEN He will tell His Son that IT'S TIME to return with His army of angels... and make it happen:

"THEN shall the King [the returned Christ] say unto them on His Right Hand, 'COME, YE BLESSED OF MY FATHER, INHERIT THE KINGDOM PREPARED FOR YOU FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD...'" (Matt.25:34)!!!

THAT'S why God called Abraham... to plant the seed that shall one day lead to RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT ON THE EARTH, that Satan destroyed in the beginning... and to whom man sold himself and has falsely worshiped since. God has been MAKING FOR HIMSELF THROUGH HIS CALLED-OUT-ONES of MANKIND, created in His image, HIS FUTURE FAMILY!

The world doesn't know it, of course... and doesn't believe it, of course [even though it's there for anyone to read about]... because it still worships this world's god; and continues to govern the world in error.

God's still calling and choosing Leaders for His Kingdom [the Faithful children of Abraham] and giving them to His Son to train [see John 17:6-9] to fill the "mansions" [chambers, rooms] in God's House.

And, like Faithful Abraham, these "chosen" of God "believe" and "obey" God's Word... unlike the false religions of this world who don't.

Answer 2

God is from eternity past and so before He created the universe and all that He put upon it including man, God devised a plan for this world to be. In God's plan was a Messiah for mankind and this Messiah was to be brought into the world through the nation Israel. God needed to start this nation with a man and the man God chose was Abraham. We do not know why God chose this particular man Abraham, because God's ways and thoughts are above man's ways and thoughts. God chose Abraham for His own reasons. The important thing is that God loved man so much that He needed a way to bring a Messiah into the world in order to reconcile man back to Him, because as God is all knowing He knew that man would sin and need a Messiah. God used Abraham greatly to put His (God's) plan in action.

Answer 3

God created the world for righteousness, not just for eating, going to work and sleeping. There were righteous people before Abraham's time, but not one of them came near to his superlative level of piety (Talmud, Avot ch.5). (See: A biography of Abraham)Only after Abraham had served God for many decades, did God speak to him and bring him into His covenant.
