SUF-12 - Abraham - Lessons in Living

ABRAHAM COMMANDED the direction of his family!

Genesis 18:19 'For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice, that the LORD may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.' (NKJV)

So what was it God admired about this man of faith? Abraham commanded his family to look beyond the passing fancies of this world system, beyond the materialism of the day (in Ur of the Chaldees). That meant for him to forsake gods of this world; system: sun god, moon god. And it meant to obey the true and living and only God!!

God chose him to 'command his family'.
