Now this morning we want to think about the call of Abram. And we want to learn from this passage things related to his call that will help us to understand what it is that God is looking for from us in terms of a response to that call. He was called to leave his country, told to get out of it and away from his family and his father's house. I would like to relate this call to you this morning so that you might see something of the reality of what happens to a person when God's grace is at work, bringing them to salvation. There is the call that comes to all men through the preaching of the gospel. And many are called, but few are chosen, Jesus says in Matthew 20: 16. That kind of a call comes to all men, to repent and believe in Jesus Christ, but God does not choose all men unto salvation. But when He has chosen to call someone to Himself, the call is made real and effectual to the mind and the heart so that the person responds in ways that both God and men see. It is this that we want to look at this morning. So the question that we are asking this morning is this. "What can we learn about how God's grace works in salvation, when we look at Abram's call?" And I think that if we look carefully, that we can see 3 aspects of God's grace at work in Abram, that we will see in ourselves if God is calling us to salvation in Jesus Christ and to an eternal inheritance.
