It all began when Abraham heard
God tell him, ". .Get the out of
thy country, and from thy kindred,
and from thy father's house, unto
a land that I will show thee,"
Genesis 12:1

Abraham believed God. It is told
in the New Testament in Romans 4:3.

He did what God told him and went
to the place that is now Israel.
God said, "This land belongs to
you."
