God blessed him with a son, made him the father of many nations, and also gave material wealth.
Answer:
Abraham's blessings cannot be overestimated. God's promise (Genesis ch.17) to make him a father of many nations has been fully realized. His descendants inherited the Holy Land, as promised (Genesis ch.15). And Abraham has had a vast influence on the entire Western world, which continues to spread.
All that God asked and was expected of him:
Genesis 26:4-6New King James Version (NKJV)4 And I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; 5 because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws."
God promised Abraham he would have children as decendents, and God promised him the land of Canaan.
Actually Abraham didn't when sacrifice his son because in the bible it says that when he was about to sacrafice his son, God answered and told him not to do it. Abraham had shown his faith to god and god was pleased. So Abraham didn't sacrifice his son.
Judaism. It is referred to as the Covenant with Abraham.
God did not call Abraham righteous he called him "Man of Faith" Because he has big amount of faith.
Judaism. It is referred to as the Covenant with Abraham.
It is called the "Covenant"-- the promise Abraham made with God, and God made with Abraham.
God chose Abraham because of God saw Abraham was worthy of a blessing and he had a clean heart.
God didn't promise Abraham anything. God just told him to sacrifice his son Isaac and Abraham, being obedient to God, was going to do what God told him to do. That is until God stopped him. God was seeing if Abraham would still be willing to obey God even if it meant killing his only son.
Abraham promised to god that he would only worship one god. P.S. you misspelled Abraham : )
he wasn't... he wasnt the king of anything... he was a a Patriarch.Answer:Tradition teaches that God chose Abraham after Abraham chose God. Abraham was the first person to reject idolatry and its concomitant immorality. He taught people that God is One.
It says, God spoke to Abraham and commanded him to take his son to Mount Moriah and offer him as a sacrifice to God. This was God's test of Abraham's faith. Abraham loved his son very much, but did not hesitate to follow God's words for he was a man whose faith in God was strong. As Abraham and his son reached the place where the sacrifice was to be performed, Isaac said to his father, "Father, where is the lamb that is to be sacrificed?" Abraham replied, "My son, God will provide the lamb". Because, Abraham was honest to his God, his son was also honest to his father Abraham.
He didn't - He spoke for God and to God, but not against Him. He believed in God and God counted it unto him for righteousness. The book of Genesis tells Abraham's story and the Book of Romans speaks lots of Abraham's faith in God's promise and covenant.
He took his son to the mountain because God told him to. It was a test to see if Abraham would obey God. Once there, God told Abraham to kill Isaac. As Abraham was about to kill Isaac, God said "Stop, you have proven yourself to me"!
They believe that God promised to protect Abraham and his people.
You are mistaken as God asked Moses a, and not Abraham from the burning bush.
"The God of Abraham" is mentioned 37 times in the KJV.
God tested abraham, as he told him to sacrifice Issac on mount Moriah.
