FIRE FLIES: Promise Factor (Pt 8)

The Promise Factor states that although we are prone to doubt God, His promises are guaranteed by Him and by Him alone.  What He promises, He will do!

In Genesis 15:1-18 we read how Abrams faith wavered. Abram had been waiting a long time for a son, for a home and for a blessing and he was doubting God's promises.   Although Abrams faith was weak, the Object of his faith (Almighty God) never wavered, never changed ...and the Lord credited it to him as righteousness.  In Matthew 17:20, we learn of The Seed Principle.  This shows us that it is not the size or intensity of our faith that is most important but the Object of our faith!  Our faith may be small (like a mustard seed), but because the object of our faith is Almighty God, all things are possible!  Romans 8:31-32 reinforces this  by saying 'What then shall we say to these things?  If God is for us, who can be against us?  He who did not spare his own Son (God's Oath or Promise for us) but gave him up for us all, how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?'  When we see the cross, we see God's Oath or Promise of just how much He loves us.
