If God's call to Abraham and the covenant that he made with him were designed to rescue the world from its plight, this purpose has now been accomplished in the Messiah, only more so: the Messiah has inaugurated the new creation, not simply a return to the original one.

The Son of God reveals Himself in me, and out of devotion to Him service becomes my everyday way of life.
