Abraham had a faith which God declared to be the Christian’s model for faith. The Christian’s understanding of God’s promise to produce a universal blessing through Abraham far exceeds Abraham’s understanding. Yet, the best any Christian can hope to do is to equal the faith of Abraham. 2

The Faith of Abraham as a type: Romans 4:16 James 2:

Abraham was reared in the city of Ur (Genesis 11:27-31), in the land of the Chaldeans. 4

According to Stephen, God called Abraham to leave his family while he was still living in Ur. Acts 7:2-4 Genesis 12:1 5

How did Abraham respond? Hebrews 11:8 Disobedience is the fruit of disbelief Genesis 3:1-5 6

We must learn to live by faith. Heb 3:12-14 Heb 3:18-19 Was his faith blind? Prov 3:5-7 7

Abraham was called to leave behind what he was most familiar with Rom 6:2b-7 Rom. 12:2 2 Cor. 6:14 1 John 2:15 8

Abraham was a man of sacrificial selflessness. Abraham was a man of conviction. Abraham was a man of faith, or trust. Abraham provides a magnificent example of what constitutes true loyalty to God. 9

We too can be characterized as “the friend of God” (James 2:23) Let us “walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham” (Romans 4:12) God will give us an eternal victory far more marvelous and grand than we can now imagine. 10
