Main Idea: God will always keep His promises to us. (Genesis 15 & 17)
Summary
God promised Abraham that he would be the father of many nations (hence the name change). Though struggle and suffering would come to the people, God assured Abraham that he would never leave them. Through our struggles, we can also give these things to God, trusting and knowing He is always with us and always faithful.
Christ Connection
God credited Abraham with righteousness on account of his faith (Genesis 15:6). Therefore, all who have faith in God, who raised Jesus from the dead for our salvation, are declared righteous. They are also considered as Abraham's children so that he indeed would be the father of many nations (Romans 4:3).
