Abraham Believed God....... 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. The message is about Abram a man that God loved and wanted to bless. Abram was promised that he would have a seed and multiply to the number of the stars. Abram was getting past the age of bearing children and his wife Sarah had went though the change of life, that she could no longer conceive to bear a child without the help of God. In the natural there was no way that Abram would see God's promise fulfilled, yet he believed God. 4:17(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 4:18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 4:19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: 4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
Abram name is changed to Abraham the father of many nations by Almighty God. The scripture tells us that God quickened the dead, and called those things which be as though they were not. God put life back into the womb of a barren Sarah, God restored Abraham to be able to reproduce at 100 years of age. Who against hope believed in hope that he might become the father of many nations. When everything says you can't and God says you can. Go with God for in the deadness of Sarah's womb, even after she laughed to think in her old age, she would bear a child. Sarah conceived....He staggered not at the promises of God though unbelief. Abraham had dealt with God enough to know that what God said he would do. That God would do as when he delivered Lot before the judgements of God fell on Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham was a friend of God's. Abraham trusted God with no strings attached, if God said it, Abraham believed it. Even before Christ had went to the cross to die for all our sins, Abraham was considered a righteous man. What a fellowship, What a joy devine, leaning on the everlasting arms . |
