Genesis 12 · Grade 4

Blessed to Be a Blessing

Name Date

Read and Think

Genesis 12 is a turning point in the Bible. After the sad stories of sin and Babel, God begins a rescue plan with one man, Abram. God tells him to leave everything familiar and go to a land He will show him. Abram does not know where he is going, but he trusts God.

God makes Abram seven great promises: to make him a great nation, to bless him, to make his name great, to make him a blessing, to bless those who bless him, to curse those who curse him, and to bless all the families of the earth through him. In the New Testament, Paul links that last promise to Jesus, Abram's descendant (Galatians 3:8, 16).

Abram obeys and travels to Canaan, building altars to worship the Lord. But Abram is not perfect. In Egypt he is afraid and tells a half-truth, saying Sarai is his sister. Even when Abram fails, God remains faithful. He protects Sarai and keeps His promise moving forward.
