    Just what did Abraham discover about Faith?

    Abraham¨CAn Example of Faith Romans 4:1¨C25 INTRODUCTION ¡ñ It is my firm belief that, more than just a timeless letter to Christians about the gospel, Romans was an attempt by Paul to unify a divided church in Rome. ¡ñ Paul would use two points to stress to these Christians the reason they ...read more

    When we do a job we expect to get paid for it. When we do something right we might expect God to repay us - but that’s not how it works in God’s economy. Learn about the four keys to faith by Paul’s account of Abraham’s faith.

    Prophets, to be legitimate, must stand the test of time.

    (If it misses—it’s a lie) Prophets, to be legitimate, must stand the test of time. If the prophet was not completely correct 100% of the time he is a false prophet. Prophecy, to be valid, must predate the event; must be precise enough so as to not be vague; must have enough events described to be ...read more

    What is faith? What did the Scriptures mean by "Abraham believed God?" How can we believe God?

    There is a play entitled, THE REAL THING, in which there is a conversation between a husband and a wife. It is one of those trecherous marital conversations and in this particular case, the husband is trying to discover if his wife has been faithful to him. "Have you ever taken a lover," he ...read more

    I. Abraham Was Justified by Faith, Not Works (4:1-8) A. Salvation is not of works nor has it ever been, and is only by faith. B.

    A study on the Book of Romans

    Work Or Promise, You Choose Chapter 4 How can a holy and righteous God be just and holy and at the same time allow sinful man to come into His presence? It also teaches that man is a sinful creature. In fact, he is dead in his sins and trespasses. Paul views salvation in three ways: 1. as ...read more

    Experience the victory that could only be obtained one way; a victory which we could not have won; a victory which must be accepted in order to free us from our bondage to sin.

    Genesis 15 shows that God’s plan for salvation has always been salvation by grace through faith.

    Genesis 15 April 6, 2003 One of the biggest mistakes I believe the early dispensationalists made was calling the OT age Law and the New Testament age Grace. I prefer Israel and the Church. Grace has always been God’s operating program with man. Genesis 15 falls into a double pattern. God ...read more

    Human sensibility and common sense will only take a person so far. The best logic will not help a person get into heaven. Abraham is an outstanding example of man whose faith defied all human reasoning through many crises.

    Why Abraham’s Faith Was Superior to Human Reasoning (Rom. 4:10-12) Illustration:The more we know of God, the more unreservedly we will trust him; the greater our progress in theology, the simpler and more childlike will be our faith.

    Righteousness has always been by grace alone, even Abraham was justified by his faith apart from works

    It might be good to stop for a moment and think again about what it was that occasioned this letter from Paul. Remember that he’s planning to visit Rome but has so far been prevented.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: The flesh is a built-in law of failure, making it impossible for the natural man to please or serve God.
