The Covenant with Abram
In Genesis chapter 17, God establishes a covenant with Abram that would shape the history of Israel and the unfolding story of redemption.
“I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.”
— Genesis 17:1 (KJB)
This declaration introduces one of the most powerful titles used for God in scripture.
The covenant includes several promises:
Abram would become the father of many nations
his descendants would multiply
the land would be given to his offspring
God would remain in everlasting covenant with them
