Genesis 12:1-3
“1 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. 2 I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
God promised Abram a great name. This name would only be given as a result of great faith, great obedience, great service, great persistence and great sacrifice.
God would give Abram a great name so that he would be an example of God to others; so that others could know God through him.
The greatness of Abram’s name would flow through and because of God working in the life of Abram.
The great height of the Tower of Babel was a reflection of the corruption and the pride of the people of Babel.
The greatness of Abram’s name was a reflection of the greatness of God.
May the love of Christ be with you,
