Abraham’s faith in God was
strong. When God called him to forsake his family, friends and country, he
obeyed and “went forth, not knowing whither he went.” When God promised to
multiply his seed as the stars of heaven, he believed it, though childless.
When, in his old age, God promised that he would still have a son by
ninety-year-old Sarah, he believed it even though he had waited so long,
seemingly in vain. When God promised to give his seed the land in which he had
sojourned, he believed it, though all reason argued against it. When God asked
him to offer in sacrifice the son born so late in life, the son upon whom all
the promises depended, he obeyed, concluding that it must be God’s plan to
raise him from the dead!
Such was Abraham’s faith in
God! Three times this is emphasized in Romans 4 alone: He was “not weak in
faith” (Ver. 19); he “staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief,”
but was “strong in faith” (Ver. 20).
But it was not the strength of
Abraham’s faith that saved him; it was the fact that the object of his faith
was God (See again Gen. 15:6). He had placed his faith in the right Person. His
faith became “strong” only because he had heard and believed God in the first
place.
“For what saith the Scripture?
Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness,” and thus
“to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his
faith is counted for righteousness” (Romans 4:3,5).
The simplest, humblest
believer, who ever so feebly commits himself to God and His Word, is “justified
freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans
3:24).
