FAITH MADE PERFECT The Development of Abraham’s Faith GENESIS 12-25

Faith Must Grow Faith can be made perfect by works of obedience James 2:22-24 A living faith is a growing faith A living faith is an active faith The lesson of Luke 17:5-10: Our faith will increase if we do what God says! Abraham is our example of faith Romans 4:1-3, 9-12, 16 walk in the steps of the faith God counted him righteous because of his faith

Abraham’s Faith 12:1-3 promises of v.2-3 conditional upon command of v.1 By faith Abraham obeyed Heb. 11:8 12:7-8 He worshiped God when he arrived 12:10 He went to Egypt instead of staying in Canaan 12:11-13 He protected himself with deception 12:14-15 He received many gifts under false pretenses 12:16-13:2 He left Egypt very wealthy

Abraham’s Faith 12:16-13:2 He left Egypt very wealthy 13:14-18 specific land promise “Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.” By faith he dwelt in the land of promise Hb 11:9 14:18-24 faith to give a tithe to Melchizedek Depended on God for his well-being Sought for God to be glorified 15:1-6 He believed God’s descendant promise 15:7-8 He questioned God’s land promise 15:9-21 God provided evidence for his faith

Abraham’s Faith 16:1-2 Sarai (and Abraham) tried to fulfill God’s descendant promise her way Problems then v.4-6 and later v :1-27 a covenant with God Greater promises and blessings (Isaac) A higher level of commitment and faith (circumcision) Even new names 18:1-15 Sarah’s skepticism replaced by faith Hb 11:11-12

Abraham’s Faith 18:16-33 Abraham interceded with faith 20:1-18 Abraham still protecting himself his way His faith is not yet perfect Jm 2:23 Still caused problems 21:1-13 Isaac is born 22:1-18 Abraham offers Isaac in obedience to God We will worship and we will come to you Believed God would raise Isaac from the dead Hb 11: :1-20 He invested in the future Hb 11:13-16
