2 FAITH Blind belief? No valid basis? Emotional basis? Human wisdom & experience? HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO GET TO YOUR DESTINATION?

3 “Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.” (Rom. 4:3) FAITH I. THE SOURCE OF ABRAHAM’S FAITH A. From God (Rom. 10:17; Gen. 12:1) 1. Trust, assurance, conviction based upon revealed evidence (Heb. 11:1) 2. God’s promise (Heb. 11:8-9) B. No other source will do! (Gen. 16:1-5; Heb. 11:11-12) C. Is your faith based upon God’s word?

4 And the father of circumcision to them… who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham (Rom. 4:12) FAITH II. THE NATURE ABRAHAM’S FAITH A. Active / Walking: 2. He went (Gen. 12:4). (Age ~60) 1. God said “go” (Gen. 12:1). B. Consistently Active: C. What kind of faith do you have ? (Jms 2:21-24, 2 Cor. 5:7; Mt. 7:21-27) 2. He went (Gen. 22:3-12). (Age ~115) 1. God said “offer” (Gen. 22:1-2).

5 FAITH II. THE NATURE FAITH OF ABRAHAM Multiple Times Justified By Faith! Descendants (Gen. 15:6; Ro. 4:3, 12) ~ 80 Thus, Abraham needed RENEWED Justification! Sarah have child (Gen.18; Ro. 4:19ff) ~ 99 Offer Isaac (Gen. 22:6, 12; Jas. 2:23) ~ 115 Left home (Gen. 12:1ff; Heb. 11:8ff) ~ 60 Abraham’s sins (Gen. 12:13f; 16:4; ).

6 FAITH III. THE NATURE OF OUR FAITH Heb 3:6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Heb 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; Heb 6:11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

7 FAITH III. THE NATURE OF OUR FAITH Jas 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 1Pe 1:13 ¶ Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ

8 FAITH III. THE NATURE OF OUR FAITH Re 2:10 …Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Re 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

9 FAITH III. THE NATURE OF OUR FAITH 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood… 27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also…

10 Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. (Rom. 4:3) FAITH CONCLUSION: A. Is your faith based upon the Word? And the father of circumcision to them… who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham (Rom. 4:12) B. Is your faith active like Abrahams? C. Will you BELIEVE God (Rom. 6:3, 16-18)?
