If Abraham had a tombstone with an epitaph on it, it would probably read something like “Here lies a faith-filled friend of God.” The New Testament repeatedly holds up Abraham as an example for his faith, and on three occasions Scripture calls Abraham the friend of God . When you think about the legacies that people leave behind, there is perhaps none greater than to be remembered as the ultimate example of faith, and to be a friend of the God who created all. But this does not have to be the legacy of Abraham alone. New Testament writers like Paul and James use Abraham as an example of faith, not because he is some perfect person you and I could never really be like, but because he’s the kind of person we all can and should strive to be like.
