How did Abraham respond to God's command to leave his country?
Abraham obeyed God's command by leaving his country, his kindred, and his father's house and departing for the land God promised to show him. Scripture records that he did it in response to faith, making the break with idolatry as God had instructed.
Les explains that God, in His grace, reached down to one man, Abraham, out of an idolatrous home and the pagan city of Ur. The command was to get out of his country, from his kindred, and from his father's house to a land God would show him, so he could break with idolatry. Abraham did it in response to faith. Les also connects this to Romans 4 and notes salvation is simple enough for a child to understand, yet complex as believers grow.
