Abraham 2

Abraham Receives Covenants from God

In Abraham 1 you read about Abraham’s desire to obtain certain blessings from the Lord and about how he began to receive some of those blessings (see especially 18–19). In Abraham 2 the Lord promised Abraham additional blessings. As you read, look for the things Abraham did to show his faithfulness and worthiness to receive such promises from God.

Studying the Scriptures

Do activities A and B as you study Abraham 2.

  1. Look for Evidence

    1. Read Abraham 2:1–17 and find evidence that Abraham believed in and trusted God. List this evidence in your notebook.

    2. Write about what you think someone else could find in your life that shows you follow God and believe and trust in Him. Record examples from your life that are similar to ways Abraham showed his faith in God, or note things in your life that you wish were similar to Abraham’s example of faith.

  2. Use Every Word

    Use all of the following words to write a sentence or two that summarize what the Lord promised to Abraham in Abraham 2:8–11: bless, seed, ministry, priesthood, gospel, father, families, salvation.
