“The Covenant of Promise…the election and call of Abraham…blessing, seed, and land – these are the promises God makes to Abraham. The divine initiative and the graciousness of God is seen in Genesis 12 when the LORD tells Abram to leave from his country, to depart from his family. He’s not rewarding him because he is good, but He is delivering him because He – God – is good and He is showing forth His grace, His mercy, and His kindness”
