Paul uses Abraham as an important touchpoint. Abraham is not just an historical individual for Paul; he’s a type of person. Abraham is the type of faithful person that foreshadows the coming of Jesus in the New Testament. Bible scholar Dr. Dennis Kinlaw says it well: “When God called Abraham, he had Jesus in mind.” Jesus perfects the faithfulness of Abraham at the same time that He fulfills God’s promise to Him.
