9.  Genesis 12:


1.  "What’s more, I am changing your name. It will no longer be Abram. Instead, you will be called Abraham, for you will be the father of many nations."


2.  "By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God."


3.  "When Abram was ninety-nine years old the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless, that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you greatly.” 


4.  "For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself."


5.  "Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”


6.  "You are the Lord, the God who chose Abram and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans and gave him the name Abraham."


7.  “Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy."


8.  "Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him."


9.  "By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, of whom it was said, “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back."


10.  "God gave the promises to Abraham and his child.[j] And notice that the Scripture doesn’t say “to his children”,  as if it meant many descendants. Rather, it says “to his child”—and that, of course, means Christ. "


11.  "Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone."
