The missionary family didn’t just begin and end with Abraham’s immediate descendants. It did begin with Abraham, but it certainly didn’t finish with him. If you’re wondering what the connection is between believers today and Abraham, the simple answer is found in Galatians 3:29, where it says, “And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.” People of God are to assume the same mission given to Abraham and his descendants. Their primary purpose was to remain faithful to God and in doing so, make His name known among the nations. In the same way, it is our job to make Jesus’ name known.
