This study examines the narrative of Abraham's call in Genesis 12:1-3 as a theological foundation for sustainable mission and community empowerment. Through an exegetical analysis of the Hebrew text, this research reveals that Abraham's call encompasses holistic missiological dimensions, including spiritual, social, and economic. Key terms such as lekh-lekha (go), berakah (blessing), and mishpachot (families) demonstrate that God's mission is both particular and universal. This research finds that the concept of blessing in Abraham's call is not only vertical (relationship with God) but also horizontal (community empowerment). Theological implications indicate that the contemporary church is called to engage in a transformative mission that empowers communities sustainably, integrating Gospel proclamation with social ministry.
Abstrak
Penelitian ini mengkaji narasi panggilan Abraham dalam Kejadian 12:1-3 sebagai fondasi teologis bagi misi berkelanjutan dan pemberdayaan masyarakat. Melalui pendekatan eksegetis dengan analisis bahasa Ibrani, penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa panggilan Abraham mengandung dimensi misiologis yang holistik, mencakup aspek spiritual, sosial, dan ekonomi. Kata kunci seperti lekh-lekha (pergilah), berakah (berkat), dan mishpachot (kaum-kaum) menunjukkan bahwa misi Allah bersifat partikular sekaligus universal. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa konsep berkat dalam panggilan Abraham tidak hanya bersifat vertikal (hubungan dengan Allah) tetapi juga horizontal (pemberdayaan komunitas). Implikasi teologis menunjukkan bahwa gereja kontemporer dipanggil untuk terlibat dalam misi transformatif yang memberdayakan masyarakat secara berkelanjutan, mengintegrasikan pemberitaan Injil dengan pelayanan sosial.
