In the passage from Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16, we witness a pivotal moment in the relationship between God and Abraham. At this juncture, Abraham is ninety-nine years old, and the Lord appears to him, reaffirming His covenant and promising to make Abraham the father of many nations. Despite Abraham and Sarah’s old age and barrenness, God’s promise of descendants is unwavering. Through this covenant, God not only establishes His enduring faithfulness but also calls Abraham to walk in obedience and faith.
