Because they were the first Jews
Because from them came Israel and the Kings

Covenant calling (Gen 12)
Covenant ratification (Gen 15)

IV. Abraham is the model of:
Faith (Rom 4:11)
Obedience (Jam 2:21-23)
Pilgrimage (Heb 11:8-11)

V. We are to be like Abraham
We walk by faith not by sight (2 Cor 5:7)
We obey because we believe (1 Tim 4:10-11)
We are pilgrims in this present age and await the heavenly Jerusalem (Titus 2:11-14)
