Passage - Genesis 12
Suggested title - Now you see it, now you don't
Themes - Abraham's faith is evident at the start of the chapter as he leaves his home in obedience to the Lord. However, that faith seems to disappear as he lies to protect himself in Egypt. Ultimately, it is the Lord's faithfulness that brings about the fulfilment of His own promises in the life of Abraham (e.g.12v17). Today, our faith brings us into a new home - at salvation we are baptised, or immersed, into Jesus Christ. Ultimately, though, it is thanks to the faithfulness of God that we are brought into this new home and kept there. 'If we are faithless, he remains faithful' (2Tim 2v13)
