Abram is called
God spoke to Abram:

Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.”

Genesis 12:1
God had a special plan for Abram’s life. This becomes clear in what God said to Abram after this:

“And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."

Genesis 12:2-3
God promised Abram that he would become the father of a great nation. This is special because Sarai, Abram’s wife, was barren. They had waited for children many years already. God also promised that ‘all people on earth will be blessed through you’. This means that Abram will be the forefather of the Savior. Do you remember that God promised a Savior to Adam and Eve? One of Eve’s descendants would crush the head of Satan. God did not forget this promise and now repeats it to Abram. God also said that he would make Abraham a blessing. You never get God's blessing to keep it to yourself, but to share it with others.

Abram obeyed God, took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot and all his possessions, and traveled to the land of Canaan, which is modern-day Israel.
