worth while uvea are to be our special concern during the thrae months we study the history of israel and of the church i can and a covenant gen 12 1 2 god was now ready to make known his choice of a man to be the father of his chosen people he went down into ur of the chaldees in the midst of heathen worship and called out a man who had faith in the true god abram when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance obeyed and he went out not know ing whither he went heb 11 8 the lord called him out from his own land and kindred to get him away from his heathen forebears and their worship god wants sep arated believers in our day too read and ponder ii cor 6 17 18 that call comes to every believer to those who are to serve him there is a definite call much like abram s see matt 10 3739 with the call came a great cov enant a seven fold promise given in genesis 12 2 3 that covenant god repeatedly renewed with abraham and his descendants it has been partially fulfilled and god has put himself on record that every bit of it shall be completed he keeps his promises why did god choose israel it was an act of his sovereign grace not based on their merit or good ness he had a threefold purpose 1 that they should be the reposi tory for his truth the old testa ment in the earth 2 that they should be the channel for the com ing of the personal redeemer to the earth 3 that they should be a na tional witness to the one true god amid the nations of the earth they accomplished two of these but failed in the last and are now under god s judgment for that 1n and failure d obedience and opportunity acts 7 47 abram went out at god s com mand even though he knew that ft meant suffering and trial being obe dient without question or hesitation b ble history reveals mat god de lights to do mighty things for those who give him unquestioning obedi ence god did great things for abra ham and yet he did not live to see the fulfillment of the promise he knew h was to be so realizing that god s plan was to be carried out in the children which he did not yet have see heb ii 911 here la a lesson for us our faith today and the measure
