Abram was called a “father is exalted” before God changed him to be called Abraham (Gen. 17:5 NKJV), “father of multitude”. Abraham was the son of Terah, a pagan idolater, who lived at Ur of the Chaldeans in Mesopotamia, no biblical evidence that showed that his ancestors were the true worshippers of God. Abraham was called by God to live his family, his father’s house, and all his relatives to go to the unknown world (Gen. 12: 1 NKJV); he obeyed willingly and without any hesitation. God made a covenant with Abraham and promised him that he would made him a great nation, He would bless him, and he would be a blessing (v. 2 NKJV), He would gave his descendants the land Canaan (v. 7 NKJV), Abraham believed though he did not have a child of his own.
God blessed Abraham and Sarah with the son, Isaac, “the Son of promise” at their old age whom God told Abraham to sacrifice him, he also agreed without complaining that he is the only one whom God promised him (Gen. 22:2, 3 NKJV). Because of his faith, Abraham was called a friend of God, all these teach us that we cannot please God without faith (Heb. 11:6 NKJV). God is not interested in rules and rituals; He wants us to have a relationship of faith with Him.

Abraham was saved by his faith, not by his works; so should teach us that we should have faith in God and live faithfully so that we can be saved. Most of us do lot of works in our churches but the time we come across trials and tribulations we forget that “nothing is impossible with God” (Luke 1:37
