God's call to Abram

Beginning in Genesis 12 God called one man, Abram, and gave him a
covenant promise. And Abram believed God and obeyed his word.  God
promised to make him a source of blessing for all people. God's best
blessing is salvation from sin and his kingdom.

By the way, Abram and Abraham is the same person. hehe
Anyways, the story here is that Abram went to Canaan with his wife Sarai and nephew, Lot.. Because God commanded him so, and there he owned everything ..
He went south, somewhere Egypt.. and since Sarai was a beautiful woman that Abram thought he'd be killed by the Egyptians for having such a beautiful wife, He lied to the Pharoah that Sarai was his sister in order to save his life.. Oh well, upto such time that the Pharoah got sick along with the people in the palace and he knew the truth, He told Abram together with his wife to leave the place. and that's it.. They left with their wealth..
