You did.

First, it is an adventurous faith.
Abraham believed only in the living God. all to him

I had no choice but to reel.
The Apostle Paul also exhorted us to become a new person: "you
puts off the old man of old habits, which is corrupted according to the lusts of temptation.
and be renewed in the spirit only, according to God in righteousness and holiness of truth
Put on the new man that was created" (Ephesians 4:22-24).
As I brought God's great blessing through this amazing decision,
May the wonderful blessings of God come to your life in the name of the Lord.
bless you with

12:1-2).
The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was the social, economic, ethical, and moral degradation of that time.
Rather, in such a situation, you should have a heart that thinks of God and lean on God.
I think the problem was that there were no more than 10 sexed people in Gosa.
Abraham was consecrated to idols, to Lot, and to himself.
It was stellar.
Third, Abraham's faith was obedience.
Abraham left when the Lord told him to leave, and when he told him to pitch his tent, he camped.
If you ask to strike, split the name, grind it, if you ask to send it, send it, if you ask it to give it
Dri was just obedience and consistency.
We hear a lot in the Bible that God prefers good things
I see this. Also, all miracles in the Bible are manifested in obedience. I
The leprosy of Amnah, the miracle of the widow of Sarabtha, etc.
When the people of Israel could not enter Canaan because of their disobedience, they obeyed again.
I was able to get in. Today's church is becoming powerless, and the object of criticism is
The reason why divisions and confusion are repeated is because of a lack of faith in obedience.

Everything you do in life must be done by faith.
Fourth, Abraham had the faith to offer the most precious thing.
In Genesis 22, God gave Isaac to Abraham as a burnt offering on Mount Moriah.
commanded to give. However, Abraham did not resist
It is recorded as giving.
It reminds me of a scene from a movie called "Creation of Heaven and Earth" that came out a few years ago. God
When God gave the command to give up his only son, Abraham said, "I can't do that.
"No, NO, NO." and struggled like crazy, shouting "NO, NO, NO."
It's about getting your mind set up and making a decision to obey. This struggle
It's human nature.
In Genesis 22:2, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac.
Go to the land of Gomoriah and live there as a burnt offering as far as I will show you.
I will give it to you." I read the verse of the Bible and thought about it this way.
“Han Yanghee! You choose one of your three siblings and go to the foot of that Bukhansan Mountain.
Come and offer it to me as a burnt offering." What would you do?
It's a command from God, but I can't give it to you. Which child should I give? our line

No. She's the only daughter I love, so it's ridiculous. Then I'll give you Kyung-gyu
how? That's not possible. He only resembles my father. How can I give him a child?
What if it was me rather than God? I'd rather go to hell. ha
Please think about it, too." I try to think like this.
Everyone! What is the most precious among us? we tithe
You say that you don't give as much as you want and that you don't keep your Sundays properly.
It is also a great sin.
Fifth, Abraham's faith was faith in the resurrection.
Hebrews 11:19 says, “He was able to bring God from among the dead.
He thought that he would bring him back to life.”
It is a law ordained by God that a person dies once. whoever escapes the beat
No one. We will be one day on this earth when the curtains of our bodies fall
You should definitely believe that you will go to your country and have a thorough customs afterlife.
All.
In Romans 4:17, today's text says, "...God raises the dead,
The word of ".." refers to the resurrection, and it also refers to the raising of the body on this earth.
Raising Lazarus, raising the son of the widow of Nain, etc.
is.
In other religions other than God, there is no saying that He will save us. in Buddhism
There is a story like this. In a village, a woman has an only son.
It was. He begged Bulta to save him. commanded, "You
I went all over town and got rice from a house where no one died.
If you cook rice and put it in your mouth, you will live."
The woman searched for Umari, but there was no house where no one had died.
When I tell you that, "You must suffer like everyone else.
Everything.” Because we are the same people, we have the ability to solve problems.
there is no That's why in Buddhism, this world is called "Confession". That
But Jesus is not like that. Raise the dead whenever you need it
you said Please believe this.
Sixth, Abraham's faith is the faith of love.
In 1 John 4:7-8, the Apostle John said, "Beloved, we
Let us love, for love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God.
He who knows God and does not love him does not know God.
because God is love.”
Because God loves us, He sent His only begotten Son into this world.
Abraham also imitated God's love like this. he is one
I loved you, I loved my wife, I loved my nephew, and I will be destroyed.
He loved even the sinners and loved the strangers. Then unwittingly
Treated angels, treated God, and received Isaac as a blessing
is.
Dear saints,
All of us imitated the faith of Abraham, and received what Abraham, the man of faith, received.
I wish you all the blessings. Amen.
