Who did God call to go to a new land and become the father of many nations?

• A. Abraham
• B. Moses
• C. David
• D. Isaac

Answer: (A)

Abraham is the one God called to go to a new land and become the father of many nations. God asked him to leave his homeland and travel to the land He would show him, and He promised that Abraham would become the father of a great many descendants. This promise, along with the name change from Abram to Abraham, shows why he is regarded as the patriarch of a vast family of nations. Isaac is Abraham’s son who continues that family line, but the initial call to leave and the blessing to become a father of many nations belongs to Abraham. Moses and David have their own important roles in Scripture, but they were not the ones called to start this particular blessing of becoming the father of many nations.
