Bible Verses About Abraham

Yeshua said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, inasmuch as this man too is a son of Avraham.

They answered, “We are the seed of Avraham and have never been slaves to anyone; so what do you mean by saying, ‘You will be set free’?”

Yeshua answered them, “Yes, indeed! I tell you that everyone who practices sin is a slave of sin.

Now a slave does not remain with a family forever, but a son does remain with it forever.

So if the Son frees you, you will really be free!

I know you are the seed of Avraham. Yet you are out to kill me, because what I am saying makes no headway in you.

I say what my Father has shown me; you do what your father has told you!”

They answered him, “Our father is Avraham.” Yeshua replied, “If you are children of Avraham, then do the things Avraham did!

As it is, you are out to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Avraham did nothing like that!

The Judeans said to him, “Now we know for sure that you have a demon! Avraham died, and so did the prophets; yet you say, ‘Whoever obeys my teaching will never taste death.’

Avraham avinu died; you aren’t greater than he, are you? And the prophets also died. Who do you think you are?”

Yeshua answered, “If I praise myself, my praise counts for nothing. The One who is praising me is my Father, the very one about whom you keep saying, ‘He is our God.’

Now you have not known him, but I do know him; indeed, if I were to say that I don’t know him, I would be a liar like you! But I do know him, and I obey his word.

Avraham, your father, was glad that he would see my day; then he saw it and was overjoyed.”

“Why, you’re not yet fifty years old,” the Judeans replied, “and you have seen Avraham?”

Yeshua said to them, “Yes, indeed! Before Avraham came into being, I AM!”

At this, they picked up stones to throw at him; but Yeshua was hidden and left the Temple grounds.

and Stephen said: “Brothers and fathers, listen to me! The God of glory appeared to Avraham avinu in Mesopotamia before he lived in Haran

and said to him, ‘Leave your land and your family, and go into the land that I will show you.’

So he left the land of the Kasdim and lived in Haran. After his father died, God made him move to this land where you are living now.

Then what should we say Avraham, our forefather, obtained by his own efforts?

For if Avraham came to be considered righteous by God because of legalistic observances, then he has something to boast about. But this is not how it is before God!

For what does the Tanakh say? “Avraham put his trust in God, and it was credited to his account as righteousness.”

Now the account of someone who is working is credited not on the ground of grace but on the ground of what is owed him.

However, in the case of one who is not working but rather is trusting in him who makes ungodly people righteous, his trust is credited to him as righteousness.
