Abram Called By God - NAS

Abram was Called by God to Move to a New Place That Would Be Given to His Descendants.

1. God's Call to Abram Caused Him to Leave His Home and Many of His Relatives.

Genesis 12:1-3 Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go forth from your country, And from your ________________ And from your ______________ house, To the land which I will show you; [2] And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a ______________; [3] And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the ______________ of the earth will be ____________."

Genesis 12:4-5 So Abram went forth as the LORD had spoken to him; and Lot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he ______________ from Haran. [5] Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his nephew, and all their ___________________ which they had ___________________, and the persons which they had ______________ in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan; thus they came to the land of Canaan.

Genesis 12:6-7 Abram passed through the land as far as the site of ____________, to the oak of Moreh. Now the ________________ was then in the land. [7] The LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your ___________________ I will give this land." So he built an altar there to the LORD who had appeared to him.

2. Abram and Lot Both Had Very Large Flocks and Their Herdsmen Quarreled.

Genesis 13:5-7 Now Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents. [6] And the land could not sustain them while dwelling together, for their ___________________ were so great that they were not able to remain together. [7] And there was strife between the herdsmen of ____________ livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. Now the ________________ and the ________________ were dwelling then in the land.

Genesis 13:8-10 So Abram said to Lot, "Please let there be no strife between you and me, nor between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are ______________. [9] "Is not the whole land before you? Please ______________ from me; if to the left, then I will go to the right; or if to the right, then I will go to the left." [10] Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the valley of the Jordan, that it was well ____________ __________________ -this was before the LORD ________________ Sodom and Gomorrah -like the __________ of the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you go to Zoar.

Genesis 13:11-13 So Lot chose for himself all the valley of the Jordan, and Lot ________________ eastward. Thus they ________________ from each other. [12] Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled in the cities of the valley, and moved his tents as far as Sodom. [13] Now the men of Sodom were wicked ___________________ and sinners against the LORD.

Abram was older and could have chosen the best for himself. Lot chose to his own hurt because Sodom was so wicked.

3. Once More the Lord Promised Abram That All the Land Would One Day Belong to His Descendants.

Genesis 13:14-18 The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had ________________ from him, "Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, ________________ and southward and ______________ and ______________; [15] for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever. [16] "I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth, so that if anyone can number the dust of the earth, then your descendants can also be ______________. [17] "Arise, walk about the land through its __________ and ____________; for I will give it to you." [18] Then Abram moved his tent and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and there he built an altar to the LORD.

4. Lot Lived near Sodom and an Invading King Took Him Prisoner.

Genesis 14:1-2 And it came about in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, _____________________ king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, [2] that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of ______________, Shinab king of Admah, and ______________ king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).

Genesis 14:8-9 And the king of Sodom and the king of ______________ and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) came out; and they arrayed for battle against them in the valley of Siddim, [9] against _____________________ king of Elam and Tidal king of Goiim and ______________ king of Shinar and Arioch king of ____________ -four kings against five.

Genesis 14:11-12 Then they took all the goods of Sodom and ______________ and all their food supply, and departed. [12] They also took Lot, Abram's nephew, and his ___________________ and departed, for he was living in Sodom.

5. After Abram Defeats Chedorlaomer He Meets with Melchizedek, a Priest of the Most High God.

Genesis 14:17-20 Then after his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley). [18] And ___________________ king of Salem ____________ out bread and wine; now he was a __________ of God Most High. [19] He blessed him and said, "Blessed be Abram of God Most High, ________________ of heaven and earth; [20] And blessed be God Most High, Who has ________________ your ____________ into your hand." He gave him a tenth of all.

Genesis 14:21-24 The king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give the people to me and take the goods for yourself." [22] Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have sworn to the LORD God Most High, ________________ of heaven and earth, [23] that I will not take a thread or a __________ thong or ______________ that is yours, for fear you would say, 'I have made Abram rich.' [24] "I will take ____________ __________ what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me, Aner, __________, and Mamre; let them take their share."

6. Abram Questioned God's Promise of Children, Since He Still Had None. God Promised Him Children and Told of What Would Happen to Them Before the Land was Actually Theirs.

Genesis 15:1-6 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; Your reward shall be very great." [2] Abram said, "O Lord GOD, what will You give me, since I am ________________, and the heir of my house is ____________ of ______________?" [3] And Abram said, "Since You have given no offspring to me, one born in my house is my heir." [4] Then behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir; but one who will come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir." [5] And He took him ____________ and said, "Now look __________ the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." And He said to him, "So shall your ___________________ be."
