3.

Who am I?

NURTURE
In light of Multiply part 4, chapter 3 entitled, “God’s Covenant
with Abraham” consider these questions together.
1. After reading and meditating on Genesis 12:1–9, 15:1–21,
and 17:1–14, what stood out to you from reading the
promises that God gave to Abraham?
2. What does God’s covenant with Abraham reveal to us
about God?
3. What does God’s covenant with Abraham reveal about
God’s plan of redemption?
4. Consider the biblical pattern: people sin, people suffer
the consequences, God redeems. How have you seen this
pattern in your own life?
5. In Genesis 15, God made it clear that His promises to
Abraham were not dependent on Abraham. How should
this affect the way we think about God’s plan of
redemption?
6. In your own words, explain why it is significant that God
created a people for Himself. What did God want to
accomplish through this “great nation” He promised to
form?
7. Consider God’s intentions to bless “all the nations”
through His promise to Abraham. What implications
does this have for the way we view the world today?
8. Think about the ways that God has blessed you. How
should these blessings be used to benefit the people
around you?
26 9. As you read Romans 4, why do you think the New
Testament makes such a big deal about Abraham’s
faith?
10.How should Abraham’s faith affect the way you think
about and relate to God?
