Abraham was a man of God, blessed by Melchizedek, King of Salem

God promised to make him the father of many nations

And showed him the promised land

He made a covenant of circumcision with Abraham

Abraham had a nephew Lot

He had a son Ishmael

He had a son Isaac

Isaac must have sinned because

Abraham was faced with having to kill his son Isaac

But God sent a ram to die in his place

(Just like he sent Jesus to die in our place)

God's Holiness and his Grace and Mercy are again displayed
