What Does God Want?
God was Abraham’s friend. He talked to Abraham, changed Abraham, directed Abraham and blessed Abraham. His relationship with Abraham was the first intimate interaction God initiated after creation and He made a great Promise to Abraham-that through him all the people on the face of the earth would be blessed. Why would The Creator of the Universe be reaching out to Abraham? What did Abraham do to warrant such generosity? Could a ll of the woe of religion be based in a misunderstanding of what God wants? Genesis 26:25 tell us that God was Abraham's friend, "Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.” Did you know that the law did not make its appearance on Mount Sinai? The word Torah, or Law was first used right here, in the verse describing the reason God blessed Isaac. First, Abraham obeyed God's voice .The same voice that called out for Adam in The Garden. Abraham heard God and kept God’s charge. T
