Terah adopts heathen superstition and idolatry, a common practice in every age. But God intervenes with Abram; God identifies him as the ancestor of the line by which all the nations of the earth would be blessed through his descendant, Jesus. God calls Abram to follow Him from Ur to Haran to Canaan with only a promise in his pocket, a faith in his heart, and a proclamation/invitation in his mouth.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12610213297393178018noreply@blogger.com
