Genesis 12:1-9 are some of the most important verses in all of the bible. They are the beginning of God's redemptive plan through the people of Israel and to all the nations of the world. These verses record the call of Abraham, the father of the nation of Israel, the father of faith. Why is this event significant? Why is it still relevant to our lives and the world today? What can we take away from the call and response exhibited here?
