Abram and Lot were both rich and had many animals. They decided to separate their cattle because the men who were caring for them were fighting. Abram let Lot have first choice, and Lot chose the best land. Abram took whatever was left.
God changed Abram's name to Abraham and his wife's name to Sarah. God promised to bless Abraham and give him a big family.
One day three men came to see Abraham and promised him that he and Sarah would soon have a son, even though he was 100 years old and Sarah was 90 years old.
Isaac was born just as they had promised. One day God commanded Abraham to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. God did not want Isaac to die, but he was testing Abraham. An angel saved the life of Isaac.

Abraham loved God very much. Because he was a righteous man in God's eyes, God told him he would be the father of many nations. In fact, Abraham's name means father of many. God made Abraham a promise that if he was faithful, he would be the father of many, even in his old age. Abraham believed and did as God told him.
God also made us a promise that if we believed in His Son, we would have an eternal home in heaven with him. Are you living a faithful life?
This story about Abraham can be found in the Bible in Genesis chapters 13, 18, 21 and 22.
