I’m not sure if I’m a Christian

Abram’s d-i-y wobbles: Egypt ch12 Eliezer ch15 Hagar & Ishmael ch16

You have not been abandoned by God 17:1-8 I will v5-8: the same promise only more so For us too: descendants = a great multitude that no-one could count from every nation, tribe, people & language Revelation 7 land = being with God in the new heavens and earth Hebrews 3+4

Trust and obey the God of the impossible 17:9-27 Circumcision = commitment to the covenant, to the God who keeps His word Abraham laughs at the impossible – why can’t it be Ishmael ? The line of promise -> Jesus, is the line of Isaac, not Ishmael Abraham believes and obeys v23-27

Believe the God of the impossible 18:1-15 Sarah laughs at the impossible – it cannot be But v14 is anything too hard for the Lord? God does the impossible: Gives Abraham and Sarah a son Saves mankind though the death of Jesus

I am a Christian, I believe & obey the God of the impossible
