Gen 12:2. 'I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.'

Abraham is not the father of Israel according to the flesh (John 8:39-44 ), but the father of those who believe. Not of those who share his genes, but of those who share his faith (Rom 4:13; Gal 3:7 etc ).

Is that what you were asking?
