It All Started with Abraham and Sarah
October 10—November 21 God’s plan to redeem humanity did not start with the birth of Jesus. It began two thousand years earlier, with a couple named Abram and Sarai living in what today is Iraq. God instructed them to move to Canaan and informed Abram that he would be the father of a great nation. Across the book of Genesis, Abram and Sarai became Abraham and Sarah, and launched a family line that established a people chosen by God to bring the people of the world back to God.
