Abraham

Genesis 12:1-9, 17:1-8

 

Galatians 3:6-9 6 just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?

7 Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify[a] the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

 

Faith for the promise

Main Point-faith isn’t always easy, but because of who makes the promise that we believe in, we push by reliance on our faith to obey even when it is uncomfortable.

Abraham is our example today, we want to look at how he used faith to do three things: faith to obey, faith to be uncomfortable and faith to be rewarded.

 

Faith to obey

Faith to be uncomfortable

8By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. 

 

Faith to be rewarded

8By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. 10For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.
