We are going to see in this account, and in the account of Chapter 14, that Abraham is free from the love of money. We see it when he refuses the treasure of the Mesopotamian kings; we see it when he lets Lot choose which way he would go. Abraham takes some remarkable steps in generosity.

Many of us feel we have to fight for what is ours or else we will be run over. And in the world, that's the way it is. But if we can have the revelation in our hearts and understand what Abraham did, that God is our source, it frees us to be generous and peaceful. Ultimately, we can't obey what Jesus has commanded unless we understand this principle of generosity.
