People must repent and return in order to be reconciled back to God.
“Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!’ Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
Luke 15:8-10
The truth is one must go after and search for those who become lost.
Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins. James 5:19-20
Keep it going and share.

Do you think Abraham had read the Psalms? Or Genesis?
What truth is and what truth is known are two different things entirely.
Again, I maintain that regeneration is unique to the New Covenant.
But obviously, God did not tell Abraham everything.
Jesus made Covenant, a blood covenant with Abraham before He became flesh.
And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect.
Galatians 3:17
The New Covenant is the Renewed Abrahamic Covenant.
The Abrahamic Covenant always included Gentiles.
The law of Moses did not. The law of Moses was the dividing wall separating Jew and Gentiles.
The law was removed when the Seed came and nailed it to the cross; taken it out of the way.
The New Covenant in the blood of Jesus takes away sin.
The Old Covenant atoned or covered the sin by the animal blood.
With sins removed the baptism with the Spirit could now be received.
The Gospel command is repent.
Abraham obeyed this command from the Lord.
Now the LORD had said to Abram:
“Get out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.
I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him,
Genesis 12:1-4
Abraham departed thus turning away from his old life and family to follow the LORD.
NO! NO! NO! The Abrahamic Covenant always promised that Gentiles would someday become part of God's kingdom.
That was not accomplished until the events between Peter and Cornelius (Acts 10).
The law was NOT removed. Those who reject Jesus Christ are still under the law. What has been removed for the children of God are the record of sins and the just punishment for those sins .
Col 2:13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
Col 2:14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.
