less Abraham was to know
that everything rested and de.
pended on God. For Abraham
to see and experience this al
mighty power of God he had
to recognize the ornnipotence
and holiness of God and walk
blameleSs in His presence.
This called for higher moral
standards and purity. Just
think of what this command
.Of God m e a n t to Abraham
then, and what it means to
us today. It means that no
matter how old we become we
can still be morally and spirit
ually impure. 1t should be that
as We grow older we grow
morally ethical and morally
better, but this is not always
the case. In many instances
people become worse morally

'ly were at an earlier age in
life.
GOD GIVES ABRAHAM A
NEW NAME AND A COVEN-
ANT: 1t wsn't until this
moment in the life of the faith
er of the faithful that he re-
ceived a new name. This
name was Abraham, meaning
Father of a multitude. God
gave Abraham this name be-
cause in the covenant between
them God promised to bless
and multiply the seed of Abra-
ham. The descendants of
Abraham were to be as num-
erous as the stars of heaven
and as the sand of the sea.
Many nations came out of the
descendants of Abraham, the
greatest being Israel. Truly
from among the Israelites
came gre a t kings, such as
David and Solomon. Gods
covenant with Abraham and
his descendants was not tenn
porary. 1t was not for a few
or a few years. Gods
covenant was an everlasting

PRACTICAL POINTS ON
THE LESSON:

God chose to make a coven-
ant with Abraham and with
his descendants. A b a h a m
chose to accept Gods terms
of the covenant. This coven-
ant which was initiate by
God, could only be understood
in God who only could make it
understandable. Israel found
this out, for time and time
again she tried to displace
Gods covenant with others. or
she tried to put her own
meaning to the covenant, rath-
er than Gods meaning. But
God could not change because
He could not change. He kept
nursing and pleading with Is
rael to keep her part of the
covenant, for God had chosen
Abraham and his descendants
to be His instruments of hope
and salvation to the nations of
the world. God could not 60
back on His promise. God is
the same today.
