Abraham’s life gives a theological glimpse into the very framework of the gospel, long before it was ever proclaimed to the world. Esteemed as the Father of our faith, his example strips away any arguments we might hold concerning our own self justification. The reason is simple:
Abraham chose to believe God.
Against all odds, and perhaps, even, logic, he chose to order his life around trusting God - purely on the merit of His word. We can all look back to Abraham, to find the motivation we need to look forward in faith - no matter what we face along the journey.
