Essential issues in faith with Abraham as reference point
Abraham went out not knowing where he was going.

• He lived by faith not eight – vs 8 (uncertainty element)
• He knew Gods voice –relationship (new birth)
• He obeyed without questioning – obedience goes with action. Gen 12 : 4
• He continued in faith till the end – vs 9

Explain sojourned – with Isaac, Jacob (transfer of vision or promise – even when he had not received the promise.

Faith pictures – vs 10
• The faithfulness of the “promiser” vs 11 (Heb 10 :23)
• The test of faith at a point ones faith will be tested. Vs 17, 19 Gen 22:1

When tested in faith, do the following:
1. Consider Gods ability not your inability
2. trust in God absolutely – focus on the promise Josh 1:8
• Faith produces/delivers Gen 22 : 19
• Your confession must agree with your faith Gen 22 : 5 – 8
• Don’t give up – Heb 10 : 23 – 39

M.V Romans 4:3 For the scriptures tell us “Abraham believed God” and God counted him as righteous because of his faith. (NLT)
