Our Sixth of the series of episodes covers the life of Abraham. Now age 95-99. We continue on the TIMELINE FOR ABRAM (ABRAHAM), the man, the places he moved to and why, what happened when he got there, the people he interacted with, and the results of those interactions. Abraham is revered by many of the world's religions and is known to Christians as the "Father of Faith." First, we looked at the Chittim (Rome) war, known in world history as the Rape of the Sabines, and then Abram's name was changed to Abraham (Why did God do this). The covenant of circumcision between Abraham and God. We take our second sidebar discussing Abraham and Sarah walking by faith.
Abraham and Sarah walk by faith.
Romans 4:16-22 16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be [a]sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all 17 (as it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations") in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; 18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So shall your descendants be." 19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. 22 And therefore "it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Hebrews 11:8-11
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
