The Man Who Was a Friend of God
Genesis 11:31
In
the long-ago time there lived a man named Abraham. The people then knew
little about the true God. Many of them bowed down and prayed to other
things. Some of them prayed to the moon, and some to the sun. They
believed these were gods whom they should worship. In
the home city of Abraham the people worshiped the moon-god. They called
the name of the moon-god "Ur." And in honor of their god they
named their city "Ur." Abraham's
neighbors and friends worshiped the moon-god But Abraham believed that the
God who made the moon was the only true God, and he would not pray to the
moon-god as they did. He prayed to the same God whom we worship today. He
wanted to obey God's commands. Abraham
had no Bible to tell him about God's love. There were no Bibles in that
long-ago time. Then God spoke to people who would listen to hear his
voice. Abraham listened, and God talked to him. He told Abraham many
things. And Abraham always believed God. This pleased God well.
