Bible Fellowship Group Study Questions:
- In what ways did Abram's journey from Egypt back to Canaan reflect a journey of faith and trust in the Lord, despite past failures?
- How does Abram's decision to return to the place where he had previously called upon the name of the Lord demonstrate a commitment to trust and obedience? How can we apply this principle in our own lives when faced with failure or uncertainty?
- Explore the significance of Abram allowing Lot to choose the land he desired, even though Abram had received the promise of the land from God. How does this act of faith and humility reveal Abram's trust in God's sovereignty?
- Discuss the theme of faith being re-tested in Abram's story, particularly in his dealings with Lot and the division of land. How does this relate to our own experiences of facing trials and challenges that test our faith?
- Reflect on the reaffirmation of God's promise to Abram after his failures and the separation from Lot. How does God's faithfulness in reaffirming his promise encourage us to trust in his grace and provision, even when we stumble or fall short?
