Abram--later renamed Abraham--was asked by God to do a truly remarkable thing: to pick up and leave his comfortable life to follow God's promise. He did so, and God went on to reward Him with a long lineage that culminated in Jesus Christ.

Melchizedek in the Bible: Genesis 14:18-20
There Bible doesn't tell us much about Melchizedek beyond that he was a priest of God, and that his line of priesthood is an important one. Some Christians see Melchizedek as an early foreshadowing of Jesus himself.

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.
