Genesis 12:4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
In addition to Sarah making the Journey with Abraham, we observe that he also took Lot, his brother’s son and all the souls they had gotten in Haran, everyone who was free to believe and obey, or conversely, to disbelieve and remain where they were. Faith cometh by hearing, and if the channel used is a known God-fearing person, then the least one should do is to consider that which is being said.
God had not spoken to any of them directly, but if they knew and believed that the head of the home was a God-fearing man, then they are free to make their own choices. They could obey by faith, and thereby be beneficiaries of the promises fulfilled, or they could refuse to comply, and thus forfeit the promise of collateral blessings. The choice is a personal one, with no use of force against one’s conscience.
The true faith in God that the Bible recognizes will never lead persons to deliberately disobey God, for this causes a short-circuit of God’s promises. This is clearly exemplified in the case of Eli to whom many great promises were made, on the same conditions of obedience, but when Eli deliberately chose not to comply his professed faith was turned to fake news.
1st Samuel 2:30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said Indeed, that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me forever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
