Abraham
Introduction
The Bible tells the journey of Abraham's life starting from when he was still named Abram until he finally returned to the bosom of the Father. In Abraham's life, there were many important decisions he had to make, and from the story of Abraham, we are able to see his characters that we can emulate in our lives. Abraham was a man who was faithful and obedient to God. He was a person who was willing to pray for others. Abraham was a humble man. There are many biblical figures who can be role models for us humans, but I chose Abraham because Abraham had an important role in my personal life.
Content
Abraham had extraordinary loyalty and obedience to God's commands. There are several things that show that Abraham was faithful to God. First, God ordered Abraham to leave his country to go to the land promised by God and Abraham was obedient in carrying out God's commands. Second, God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac, the only child with his wife Sara but he remained obedient to God. Third, God told Abraham to sacrifice a ram as a burnt offering in lieu of his son Isaac, then Abraham did so. God blessed Abraham for his faithfulness to God.
Abraham was a man who was willing and courageous to pray for others. Abraham prayed for people he did not know or were strangers. He prayed for all those in Sodom and Gomorrah. He prayed for the people who didn't even treat him well. These things are certainly an example for us as Christians who have compassion, we need to pray for others too.
Abraham was a humble person, he realized who he was before God and said that he was dust and ashes. There are three things that can be imitated in the life of Abraham. First, Abraham was wonderfully blessed and accompanied by God. However, with this, he did not become arrogant. Second, Abraham acknowledged that he was dust and ashes in the eyes of God. But he still admits that God is the Most Holy who has power over all things. Third, Abraham was not just humble to God. He is also humble in front of humans, he does not hesitate to say that he is just a stranger and a stranger. Those are the three examples of Abraham in the Bible about humility.
Conclusion
To sum up, Abraham's personal life is very important for us to emulate to run our human lives. From Abraham's experience, we can learn to be faithful and obedient to God so that we are always blessed by God. We are expected to be people who are willing to pray for others so that we are always blessed by God. Abraham also taught us to always be humble so that with the humility we have we will not become arrogant. God always blesses the lives of all of us, not only Abraham's life because our God is a just and wonderful God who loves every human being.
