Title: Faith in Training / Genesis 12:10-20
Contents Last time we studied the scene of Abraham being called for the first time. As we study Abraham through chapter 22, we would like to get some help regarding what faith is. When we first saw the scene of Abraham being called, we could learn two lessons. It was a belief that once you had built it up, it was a departure from everything you could rely on and obedience to the Word. We can't help but admire and admire Abraham as we see him.
But as soon as God called Abram, did he call him {Abraham}? no. God did not recognize Abram, who seemed to have such great faith. It seems that God doesn't give much importance to Abraham's act of faith, which seems so great to us. Why? Why? This is an important issue we need to focus our attention on today. It is because of the training process of faith. A paradise that you can only go to with a burning faith! Wouldn't it be great if our salvation could be completed if we decided and acted only once, and if all of our faith could come to an end? But believing is not such a one-time decision.
So far we have looked at the situation and reaction set for Abram.
It cannot be said that all the sufferings of Christians who believe in the world are for God to train them. But more dangerous than that is trying to get around the situation with appropriate improvisation or trickery.
Is there anyone who is in the same situation as Abram right now? Pray for God's intervention. Be humble and ask for help. Is there anyone who thinks that he had the same strong faith that Abram did when he first left Haran? We must pray so that we do not fall into temptation.
Faith endures rain and wind and harsh winds and winds and grows like a tree that seems to fall but grows into a big tree. Do you have hardships? Rejoice. Our tree of faith is trained and matured through such hardships.
Faith is a discipline we must undergo throughout our lives.
James 5:11 "Behold, we say blessed are those who persevere. You have heard of Job's patience and have seen the end of the Lord, for the Lord is merciful and merciful." ( * )
