People - Abraham
Abram and his wife Sarai were living in Ur of Chaldees when God called them to move to Canaan (Genesis 11 v26-32).
God promised that Abram would be a blessing (Genesis 12).
When Abram was 99 years old, God gave him a new name Abraham father of nations and his wife Sarah mother of nations (Genesis 17).
A year later, though Abraham and Sarah were both old their son Isaac was born (Genesis 21).
Several years later God tested Abraham. Abraham was prepared to do whatever God asked no matter the personal consequences. God was pleased and sent the angel of the Lord to Abraham. Abraham offered a ram to God a foreshadow of the sacrifice of Jesus. The angel promised that Abraham's descendents would multiple like the stars in the heavens. (Genesis 22)
The death of Abraham (Genesis 25).
The righteousness of Abraham (Romans 4 v 3 - 9).
