The article focuses on the examination of the Old Testament passage which narrates about the calling of Abraham in order to present this episode of the Sacred History as the initial phase of the missio Dei aiming to restore the relationship between God and humanity. In the first part the author presents an overview of the primitive history, which is intended to reveal the "fatality of the human condition" and humanity’s urgent need of God's blessing. Since humanity had gradually drifted apart from their Creator, God wished to intervene in the course of history and prevent the imminent destruction of His creation. The second part of the article is dedicated to a more detailed description of this event. The main feature of God's mission is the fact that God is the initiator and its "main character", but at the same time one has to take into consideration that God calls the man whom He has chosen to cooperation with Him. God gives the patriarch several promises, and some of them are being realized during his lifetime in spite of his doubts. Moreover, we can see quite clear a long-term and universal perspective of these promises, whose ultimate realization can be seen in the ministry of Jesus Christ.
