The Faith of Abraham Part V
This week on the broadcast we continue our study on “The Faith of Abraham” who is considered to be the father of us all, because we share the same faith (see Romans 4:17). The faith of Abraham came from God’s Word, the Words God spoke to Abraham. Romans 10:17 tells us that faith comes by hearing the Word of God – by receiving into your spirit man the Word of God, as truth. This means you make a decision to believe the Word of God as the source of truth, regardless of what your situation looks like. When Abraham believed God, God counted it him as righteousness. But that wasn’t for Abraham’s sake alone, it was written for us too. When we believe God, He counts our faith as righteousness. When we truly believe God, we have the same righteousness as Jesus. This is not by our works, but by our faith in what He has said and done.
Imagine that, when we believe God, he counts it to us as righteousness. Our slate is clean. We are free from sin. We can receive the fullness of God by faith. All the promises of God are the outcome of faith and depend entirely on faith (see Romans 4:16, Amplified).
