Creatio ex nihilo

Abram was created out of nothing, and so are we...

Regarding Abram, Genesis 12:1

12:1. "Now the Lord said to Abram: Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you."


AELW2:246

"For if you should ask what Abraham was before he was called by a merciful God, Joshua (24:12) answers that he was an idolater, that is, that he deserved death and eternal damnation. But in this wretched state God does not cast him away; He calls him and through the call makes everything out of him who is nothing."
