This devotional outlines Abraham’s journey—his call, promises, failures, and the repeated, everlasting covenant God made with him concerning both land and descendants. Abraham’s faith, not his works or heritage, is what “was credited… as righteousness.” Romans 4 explains that all who believe God’s word are counted righteous the same way—by faith, not by effort or religious observance. The New and Old Testaments together point to this gospel: sinners need a Savior, and Jesus is that Savior, received by faith alone. The application is enduring: trust God’s word, proclaim the Savior in the public square, and walk in God’s calling, knowing that God’s faithfulness to Abraham proves He will keep all His promises to His people.
