Letters From Home · May 25, 2026 · 7m

The first time in the Bible God says go. The man is old, settled, and has never heard this voice before. And the voice says go.

In this letter

- The canonical context — how Genesis 1-11 (universal) sets up Genesis 12 (particular)

- A slow read of Genesis 12:1-9 (NKJV)

- The structure of God's speech — three commands, five promises, one universal scope

- Why the destination is hidden — to a land that I will show you

- The pattern: faith begins with go, not with here is where you will end up

Scripture

- Genesis 12:1-9

- Genesis 1-11 (referenced as primeval history)
