“And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.” (Genesis 15:6)

 

“Righteous art thou O Lord, and upright are thy judgments. Thy testimonies that thou hast commended are righteous and very faithful.”(Psalm 119: 137-138)

 

Abraham had a vision and through his faith believed in the Lord. God chose him to be the father of nations because of his righteous walk before the Lord. Can we do no less since we have the complete Bible and our Savior has already redeemed us.

 

Yours in Christ,

Carl
