Question #3
Why does God refer to Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob???
Answer
In about a dozen places in the Bible, the Lord God is referred to as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
This name of God emphasizes the covenant that God made with Israel and the Israelites’ special place as God’s Chosen People.
Genesis 50:24
¶ And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob
Exodus 3:15
And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
Acts 7:32
Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has plan for the ages involving a Savior who provides forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God. That plan was set in motion when God called Abram and blessed him, and that plan was brought to fulfillment when Jesus died and rose again. Through the seed of Abraham, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob blessed all the nations of the world
