Unlike Abel, Noah and Enoch, the life of Abraham is addressed in the scriptures in detail.
As we will note, Abraham did not come from a godly home. In fact, his father was an idol worshiper. Thus, Abraham was brought up in a home with heathen, ungodly ideas.
Yet, though he was born into a home of pagan idolaters, he became a great man of God who left an example for those who would follow in his footsteps and walk by faith in the promises of God.
- By faith Abraham obeyed the call of God
- By faith he went out not knowing where he was going
- By faith he dwelt in the foreign land as a stranger
- By faith he waited for the city built by God----more----
Today Abraham, the one called as the father of faith is encouraging us and telling us that we are not left as orphans , Jesus is preparing a mansion for us and one day HE is going to comeback to take us home
Abraham died but the faith he had on God still speaks to us.
By faith Abraham obeyed the call of God, by faith he went out not knowing where he was going, by faith he dwelt in the foreign land as stranger and a pilgrim, by faith he also waited for the city built by God.
