He spoke with the great men of the Old Testament when He was creating the earth, such as Adam. He picked Abraham to be the Father of His chosen people the Israelites.
God promised that Abraham will be the father of great nations and an everlasting covenant will establish with his descendant and Kings will come from him. For this very reason the Lord changed Abram’s name to Abraham which means father of many. The Mission was also considered outside Abraham’s offspring to include all human beings. God’s plan was not only to separate Abram from his family and blesses him lonely; but he wants Abraham to be a worldwide blessing through his descendants and his faith. The purpose God’s mission, therefore, was to start a plan by which to share his blessing with whole the world as an alternative of dealing every single nation individually.

(Heb. 6:1 faith is the substance of things hope for and the evidence of things not seen. I would answer the Axiological question by saying, “God is the creator of the for universe.” Not only does he creates everything, he is everything. So that means because God is of value, we are of value too.We have to always keep God center. (Exodus 20:3 You shall have no other Gods me.)
Every person has to ask people through experiences of what they witness and what they believe. He is written in the Bible that God created the earth and filled it in days. God says “He is pleased” (Genesis 1) God was pleased of what he has done and he created everything in his image. He also wanted everything to be perfect and with greatness. God made man from the earth so he can work the land.

Abraham was called both a Hebrew (14:13) and an Aramean (Deuteronomy 26:5; cf. 25:20; 28:5; 31:20, 24).
