Abraham in the Bible: Genesis 17:5


When God called Abraham to serve Him, it wasn't just a change of lifestyle or career--it was a call for Abraham to completely transform His identify around faith in God. In this passage, God gives Abram a new name, a new identity, and an amazing promise: that Abram (now Abraham) would go on to be the father of an entire nation.

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”
- 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
