Call upon the name of the Lord

Abraham called upon the name of the Lord (Gen. 12:8). This is the same language that is used previously in Genesis 4:26, where it says «At that time people began to call upon the name of the Lord.»

This act of calling upon the name of the Lord was done in the time of Seth (Gen. 4:26), and later in the time of one of Seth’s descendants, Abraham (Gen. 12:8).

We are invited to call upon the name of the Lord. His name is Jesus. Call upon the name of the Lord Jesus and he will answer. Call upon the name of the Lord Jesus and he will save you.

Romans 10:13

[13] For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (ESV)
