It might seem that the biblical description of Abraham’s call is unimportant for the next generations of believers like us. The Patriarch plays an extraordinary role due to meeting God on his way, and the graces he received from God transcended his life.
Readers find unique insights into the faith of Abraham in the New Testament. Jesus fulfills Abraham’s promises, and St. Paul testifies that Abraham believed in God against all hope. The Letter to Hebrews emphasizes Abraham’s patient faith and obedience, and St. James proves that faith and actions work together. The Patriarch becomes an icon of the living faith of many generations, the Old Testament and the New Testament, and he is also an example for believers of all times.
