1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed (Genesis 12:1-3).
This is the beginning of the promise to Abraham. Abraham is to be a blessing to all people. What a profound concept. God in His infinite wisdom selected Abraham to be the father of those that would serve God. Remember too that this also fulfills the promise to Shem since Abraham is in the lineage of Shem. As prophesized by Noah, Shem was to be blessed. God across hundreds and thousands of years of time always fulfills His promises.
