God’s Promise to Abraham: Understanding Genesis 12 & 15

B3L10 How did God choose Abraham out of a world filled with idolatry, and what does that mean for us today? In this Bible study, Les Feldick breaks down the Abrahamic Covenant in Genesis 12 and explains the three foundational promises God made to Israel. You will gain a clear understanding of how justification by faith works and why these ancient promises still shape our world. Les Feldick walks through Scripture to reveal the background of Abraham, starting with his pagan roots in Genesis 11 and moving into God’s call in Genesis 12. He explains the "Nation, Land, and Government" aspects of the covenant and how God’s promise to bless those who bless Israel has played out through history. This lesson also dives into Romans 4 to define true biblical faith. Les clarifies that Abraham was justified not by his works, but simply because he believed God. Finally, the study touches on the origins of the Middle East conflict and how the nation of Israel grew from a small family into a multitude during their time in Egypt.
