Big Picture Question for Kids: Why did God choose Abraham? Big Picture Answer for Kids: God chose Abraham to be part of His covenant plan to send Jesus to earth to bring us salvation. Christ Connection: God chose Abraham to be the father of the nation in which Jesus would be born. In this way, Abraham would bless all nations, as God had promised. God also saw Abraham’s faith in God’s promises and counted it as righteousness. It is faith in Jesus’ perfect righteousness that brings salvation to God’s people.

Big Picture Question for Kids: Who always keeps His covenant? Big Picture Answer for Kids: God is always faithful to keep His covenant; people should always trust God. Christ Connection: God fulfilled His promise to Abraham by giving him a son. Isaac was the hope of Abraham and Sarah for a future and a legacy. God fulfilled His promise to the world by giving us His Son. Jesus ultimately fulfilled God’s promise to Abraham, and He is the hope of the world for salvation and redemption.

Big Picture Question for Kids: How can we show we believe God’s plan? Big Picture Answer for Kids: We obey God even when He asks us to do things we don’t understand. Christ Connection: Abraham showed his faith in God when he was willing to sacrifice Isaac. Isaac also showed he was ready to do what his father said. This was a clear picture of God who was willing to sacrifice His only Son, and of Jesus who was willing to do what was necessary for God’s plan of salvation. Isaac’s life was spared because God provided a substitute. We need a perfect sacrifice as our substitute for sin. God provided a perfect sacrifice in His Son, Jesus Christ. 8
