"Now Faith..."

THE FAITH OF GOD'S CALLED SERVANT - Hebrews 11:8-10

In this particular text as it relates back to the book of Genesis, God has called upon Abraham to model the Now Faith in God that is required of all Christians on this Christian journey. Abraham is known as “The Father Of The Faithful.” This man is revered by over one-half the world’s population. In our day, Abraham is held in high esteem by Jews, Muslims and Christians. In ancient times the Jews considered Abraham to be almost worthy of their worship. In the Bible, Abraham is presented to us as a great example of a man who lived his life by faith, Heb. 11:8-19. James 2:23 records the fact that Abraham was called the “Friend of God.” This man’s life was a special life and a great portion of the first book of the Bible is devoted to it. Now Faith is connected to our PAST, PRESENT AND OUR FUTURE

If you had been watching Abraham when he left his home to follow God at the age of 75 you would have said, “There goes a man of God.” But, if you had seen him lying to Pharaoh and later sinning with the Egyptian handmade Hagar, you would have said, “That fellow Abraham is a phony!” But, which observation would be the truth?
