In these Bible verses, there's a beautiful common thread of knowledge, faith, and obedience.
Genesis 18:19: God says, "For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him." This verse underscores God's confidence in Abraham's ability to lead his family in following God's ways, ensuring justice and righteousness are upheld.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7: These verses state, "And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up." Here, the emphasis is on the importance of internalizing God's commands and passing them on to the next generation through constant, everyday teachings.
Hebrews 11:8-10: This passage highlights Abraham's faith: "By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God." It illustrates Abraham's deep trust in God's promises and his willingness to follow God's call without knowing the destination, living as a foreigner in the land of promise.
These passages together paint a picture of a faithful and obedient leader, dedicated to God's teachings and confident in His promises.
