Abram Is Promised Nations

Yahweh has taken Abram outside his tent in the night and commanded him to look toward the heavens and count the stars. In a moment of profound covenantal promise, God declared that Abram's descendants will be just as numerous. Abram believed the Lord, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. A global family is born through faith.

"And He brought him outside and said, 'Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.' And He said to him, 'So shall your seed be.'"
— Genesis 15:5
