Romans 4:3: "For what does Scripture say?" Abraham believed in God, and it was credited to him as justice. " This verse highlights the importance of Abraham's faith in God, which was credited to him as justice, and is mentioned in Genesis 17.

Hebrews 11:8: "By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed and went to a place that would later receive as an inheritance, although he did not know where he was going." This verse highlights Abraham's obedience to follow God, even without knowing where he was going, which is mentioned in Genesis 17 when God tells him to "walk in my presence and be righteous."

Colossians 2:11-12: "In Him you were also circumcised, not with a circumcision made by human hands, but with the circumcision made by Christ, which is the moving of the body of the flesh. This happened when you were buried with him in baptism , and in Him they were raised through the faith in the power of God that rose from the dead. " This verse talks about the spiritual circumcision that occurs when a person is baptized and believes in Christ, which is a spiritual fulfillment of the physical circumcision mentioned in Genesis 17.

2 Timothy 2:13: "If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself."
